Sobre nosotros 

In the lush foothills of Peru’s northern Amazon, near the small village of San Roque de Cumbaza, Sachaqa Centro de Arte exists as both an ecovillage and a living studio—an in-between space where art and environment are inseparable.

Artists who stay at Sachaqa don’t simply visit; they inhabit a slower, more elemental rhythm of life. The residency is intentionally off-grid and immersed in nature, inviting artists to step away from urban distractions and reconnect with their creative process through direct engagement with the land.

Materials are not bought but gathered—clay from the earth, pigments extracted from plants, fibers woven from what grows nearby. In this way, the jungle becomes both teacher and collaborator. Artistic practice here is less about production and more about relationship: with the environment, with local Indigenous knowledge, and with one’s own deep creative process.

Living conditions are simple but intentional. Artists stay in communal or private ecological houses, sharing meals, conversations, and ideas with others in residence. The experience fosters a sense of community, where collaboration and exchange happen naturally—whether through workshops with local artisans, shared studio time, or informal gatherings that evolve into exhibitions or performances.

Artists leave not only with finished works, but with a transformed perspective, one rooted in sustainability, cultural exchange, and a deeper awareness of place.

In this way, Sachaqa is less a destination and more an experience—one where staying means becoming part of an evolving dialogue between art, community, and the living world.
