Rebel Runcato  

Your on-line ethno shop for Peruvian herbal medicines, natural incenses, indigenous art-crafts and Jungle Trip Expeditions 

Our purpose is to promote a long-term relationship with the indigenous cultures of our country Peru, built on mutual respect, trust and solidarity ; supporting small producers and not maximising our profit at their expense so in that way contributing to preserve their traditions, knowledge, religion system and all their ancient expressions as well as their tribal lands.

Runcato company supplies art - crafts, herbs and incenses that come from the Amazonian Rainforest and the Andean Highlands and also organizes Jungle trip adventures creating opportunities to their  inhabitants who have been economically and socially marginalized by the capitalism system and modern/conventional societies .

We want to be linked to a conciousness that supports ecological sustainability and the preservation of the Rain forest which is paramount to our future generations. The first step towards this is to open our hearts, as this is not only an intellectual realization but that of our mind, body and spirit harmoniously. Now more than ever is a time for recognition and change, to free ourselves from the structures and systems that bind us to a selfish way of living that is destroying our planet, our mother earth, our Pachamama.

Additionally we have been supporting to Shipibo-Conibo children that emigrated to Lima (capital of Peru) along with their parents since 2004 with a breakfast program for two years and currently with a lunch program that includes feeding approximately 103 school-age children and mothers who are breast feeding infants.  This food program has provided the only daily nutritional meal that many of these children have access to. As we work with the mothers of these children  for the accomplish of the program their role as women is highly valued for which they are empowered in their community. Runcato company purchases and then offers to the world the art-crafts produced by these women as a strategy for poverty mitigation and developing producer`s independence.
