We respect the ancient legacy of the tribes and always apply fair trade practices. Arhuak is committed to help the tribes and artisans to commercialize their products abroad.The Arhuak name comes as a tribute to an ancient indigenous tribe that lives in the Sierra Nevada of Santa Marta (Colombia). This tribe is close to our heart not only because it lives near our hometown, but for their infinite wisdom, humility and love for the environment.The Arhuaco tribe believes that the balance of humanity is based in respect. Respect not only among humans, but also among cultures, living organisms and nature in general. They know that understanding nature is essential for future generations.According to their tradition, the Sierra Nevada is the world's heart, and it is their responsibility to keep its ecological balance. They firmly believe that the existence of the earth is much more important than humanity as the Mother Earth has given us life and a place to stay.We grew admiration and respect for this ancient mystical culture and their views and devotion about Mother Earth. They represent all the wisdom and commitment to life and earth that we wish one day we could have.
