FIQUE/ IRACA/ AGAVE: 100% solar powered, biodegradable, renewable and sustainable plants that grow at 4,000 feet, in the tropical, mountainous regions of Cocuy, Huila, Valle, Narino, in Colombia. Leaves can grow as high as 4 to 6 feet in length; they are cut, separated from the fiber, washed, combed, air and sun dried, then water based dyed, and transformed from horny, husky leaves into items like rope, hats, jewelry...and tequila.
The use of AGAVE, and it's harvesting, provides an eco-friendly alternative to the use of the Tropical Rainforest's resources, thus helping in protecting and saving the Rainforest that have been tilled and burned to be used as land for cattle and illegal plantations.
