Sacred Seeds, medicinal herbs and traditional cuisine of the Quechua people

The merging of ancestral know-how and modern science within the Andean Condor Conservation Project

Sacha is the keeper of ancestral Quechua knowledge, whose lore is derived from the diverse Quechua indigenous communities, located across the central highlands of the Andean mountain ranges in Latin America.
Sacha is dedicated to the preservation and diffusion of nutritional Quechua cuisine, whilst honouring the traditional oral tradition of her elders and the cycles that sustain, the wellbeing of mother earth. Sacha is of the view, that traditional Quechua know-how is ripe to be shared with the rest of the world, as it is embedded within a cosmology of respect and connection with all earthlings.


Tayta Ullpu is an honourable elder from the Quechua indigenous communities, a diverse and ancient people, located across the central highlands of the Andean mountain ranges in Latin America.  
Over the years, Tayta's work has ranged from being an integral part of the Council of Elders from the South Condor Confederation, to becoming a pivotal figure within the Andean Condor Conservation Project. Tayta also facilitates various types of sacred ceremony, throughout the Latin American continent.
