The ecovillage in Peru’s High Amazon provides an amazing opportunity to live sustainably and learn more about you. At the same time, one could also earn college credit for participating in this experience. This is one reason why I am so fascinated with this ecovillage. In addition, what lured me in even more is that you are able to learn and experience the culture and way of life of the local community. You are given the opportunity to live the ways of the Quechua people that build upon listening and respecting the plants, animals, and energies that also live in our world. Furthermore, you also get to participate in projects that will benefit the local residents to help live an even more sufficient live in our environment.
I have a passion for my own culture and learning about the ancient beliefs and practices of my ancestors. Living in an ecovillage like the Peru-High Amazon would surely broaden my eyes to an entire different culture. Part of living in this ecovillage also gives you an opportunity to visit indigeneous sites of cultural and ecological importance. This is one aspect of the ecovillage that I would like to incorporate in to my own life. Here in Hawai’i, there are many indigenous sites that is full of great importance and hold much strength and power. I would like to explore new places of my ancestors and even re-visit sites that I have already seen before. With my new found vision of the importance of our environment, I am more appreciative of all that surrounds me.
