Birds of Altomayo

Altomayo is a Peruvian coffee brand deeply connected to nature. For this special edition, the challenge was to transform its packaging into a collectible experience that celebrated the biodiversity surrounding the origin of its coffee.

The design system was built around four illustrated birds from Peru: the toucan, the macaw, the cock-of-the-rock and the hummingbird. Each can featured a different bird, its natural habitat and a short description, turning the packaging into a small tribute to the country’s wildlife. Every illustration was created to wrap around the cylindrical format, blending lush vegetation, branches, flowers and deep natural colors with Altomayo’s brand identity. The darker palette gave the cans a more premium feel, while the detailed illustrations helped each variety stand out as part of the same family.

To extend the experience beyond design, each can included a Spotify QR code with ambient sounds inspired by nature, inviting people to listen to the forest while enjoying their coffee. The result was a limited-edition packaging collection that combined illustration, storytelling and sound, turning Altomayo’s coffee cans into sensory objects inspired by the Peruvian rainforest.
