The Maca Festival gathers scientists, producers, manufacturers, distributors and consumers from around the world in the central Andean region of Peru, which is known as the birthplace of the maca. Visitors attend workshops as well as observe product displays and try product samples; they also enjoy looking at the competitions between some of the participants of the event as well as experience traditional customs like “El Pago a la Tierra” (Payment to Earth), colorful dances and more.
Maca is a vegetable cultivated in the central Andean region of Peru at around 4,200 meters (14,000 feet) above sea level. Very few crops could thrive where Maca grows, at high altitudes with high winds and low temperatures. Andean Peruvians have used the Maca root for thousands of years to increase stamina, libido and fertility in both men and women.
Nowadays, Maca is been used to help alleviate the symptoms of menopause, chronic fatigue, depression and stress. Athletes are using Maca as an alternative to anabolic steroids for increasing strength, energy and stamina, with the peace of mind that Maca does not contain harmful stimulants and is not addictive. Maca root nourishes the body and helps to balance and regulate the hormone system function.
