Aguaje

Amazonian Fruit

Let’s talk on WhatsApp

Peru is one of the main natural homes of aguaje (Mauritia flexuosa), a palm native to the Amazon rainforest and deeply rooted in local food and wellness traditions. Thriving in Amazonian wetlands, aguaje grows in ecosystems where water, rich soils, and biodiversity coexist in balance. At Amazon Andes, we work with aguaje sourced through responsible, traditional harvesting methods that protect palm populations, preserve wetlands, and support Amazonian communities. The result is a fruit rich in natural nutrients and ancestral value—an authentic expression of the Amazon, cared for with respect and purpose.

Beyond origin, our approach creates lasting impact.

Our aguaje comes from responsibly managed aguajales, where palms are protected, not cut down. We work directly with local communities that use traditional climbing techniques to harvest the fruit by hand, allowing the palm to remain alive and productive for decades. This model generates real additionality by safeguarding biodiversity while creating stable, fair income for local families, showing that conservation and community livelihoods can advance together.

Aguajales are also powerful natural carbon sinks. These wetlands capture and store significant amounts of CO₂, playing a critical role in climate regulation in the Amazon. By keeping aguaje palms standing and productive, we help strengthen ecosystem resilience and support long-term environmental sustainability at origin.
