The Eco Truly Park of Perú














The Eco Truly Park is a made up of several small constructions and the main material used is mud. These constructions have a circular base, a cylindrical body and a dome. The trullis are placed according to the cosmos to bring harmony and to praise Krishna. The Trulli is a simple, ecological, spiritual and economical construction. The Trullis combines mysticism with architecture, bringing along with it peace to the people who live in them and visit them. The origin of this construction is ancient; there are similar constructions in Egypt such as the Ziggurat and the Pyramids, in Peru such as the architecture of the Pre-Incas and in Mexico such as those of the Mayan civilizations. More similar to the Trulli are those constructions found in Italy at Alberobello and Apulia, which are small cities made up of Trulys. The Truly is designed with a circular base similar to that of a dome. Depending on the material used, the Trulli can reach as much as 200 meters in height. The most common materials used are mud and stone. The basic idea is to construct in harmony with nature and not against her, so this is why these materials are chosen.
