A Little Bit About Pachamama
Pachamama is named after the Andean goddess of the Earth, a fitting tribute to a space dedicated to eco-conscious living. The shop’s philosophy is centered around protecting our planet and making it easier for people to adopt a zero-waste lifestyle. Founded by passionate environmentalists, Pachamama is committed to helping customers reduce waste by offering reusable and natural products that minimize our impact on the Earth.
A glimpse of what you can expect
- Reusable Essentials: Say goodbye to single-use plastics! Pachamama stocks a range of reusable items, from stainless steel water bottles and bamboo cutlery sets to eco-friendly lunch boxes and shopping bags.
- Natural Skincare: Treat yourself to personal care items made with natural, organic ingredients that are kind to both your skin and the planet. Think bar soaps, refillable lotions, and even eco-friendly toothbrushes.
- Home & Cleaning Supplies: Keeping your home clean doesn’t have to come at a cost to the environment. Pachamama offers bulk refills for cleaning products, laundry detergents, and more – so you can reuse your containers instead of throwing them away.
"At Pachamama, every choice we make is a step toward a greener future."
Why Zero Waste?
The zero-waste movement is about more than just avoiding plastic bags and straws – it’s a philosophy that aims to minimize waste at every stage, from production to disposal. By choosing reusable products and buying in bulk, we can reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills and the ocean. Pachamama makes this lifestyle accessible, offering practical, stylish, and affordable products that help us all live a little greener.
A Community Hub for Eco-Conscious Living
Pachamama is more than just a store; it’s a space where people can come together, learn, and share ideas. The shop regularly hosts workshops on sustainable practices, DIY projects, and even cooking classes focused on zero-waste techniques. Whether you’re a longtime zero-waste advocate or just starting to explore this lifestyle, Pachamama welcomes everyone to join the journey towards a greener, more sustainable world.

Canary Green’s tips to enjoying sustainable tourism in Tenerife
Visiting Tenerife on holiday doesn’t give you free rein to leave your values and principles at home. We encourage travellers to seek out sustainable options and keep up with environmental practices while travelling. Our top tips for a relaxed and wholesome stay include:
- Consider green transport options. Are you able to take a ferry to the island instead of flying? While you are here is a car necessary? Investigate public transport links or choose green options such as electric cars, green-hydrogen cars or e-bikes.
- Choose destinations that value sustainability and choose green alternatives such as solar power, recycling and energy-efficient architecture. This extends to places that value workers’ rights and the impact on the local community.
- Bring your own water bottle with you and refill it instead of buying single-use plastic bottles.
- Make use of the recycling when out and about and don’t just throw your rubbish in the nearest bin.
- Most of all, have fun and enjoy your time in the Canary Islands.
