Peru has palm trees and reeds primarily due to its diverse ecosystems, particularly in coastal and tropical regions where these plants thrive. Palm trees provide materials for construction, such as roofs and walls, due to their flexibility and durability. Reeds, especially from wetlands, are lightweight and easily harvested, making them ideal for building traditional homes in areas like the Uros Islands on Lake Titicaca. These materials are also well-suited to the local climate and available resources, allowing for sustainable housing solutions.
