The Potato Park is a unique seed bank located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas at 3,000 meters above sea level at the Andean highlands. With over 1,400 varieties, it hosts the world’s richest diversity of potatoes preserving the ancient Inca tradition and philosophy of cultivating tubers. Quechua farmers plant in terraces divided into vertical levels with different altitudes to guarantee biodiversity. As climate change and soil degradation intensifies, the Potato Park plays a key role in guaranteeing crop resilience.
