Peru is a beautiful country that despite having great archaeological monuments, history and a very impressive culture; at the same time, it suffers from many deficiencies and poverty in many people, especially among native communities
The Andean communities and because they are always in the heights, have not been helped by the state; what’s more, they have almost always forgotten them. Luckily and to date, they are mostly healthy people since their diet is natural products and of the earth, which contributes to their survival; however, they always have great needs
Precisely and due to our magnitude of hiking operation, the company has a lot of contact with the Andean communities.
Our company with communities
At least twice a year we go to the communities to help them in their knowledge of emergencies. We took with us doctors, firefighters and security personnel who taught them different methods of assistance.
Also, we visit the communities two to three times a year in order to celebrate with them the National holidays as well as the Christmas time and any other special date. All these occasions, we brought them almost all what they needed as food, medicines, care kits and gifts for the children. Specially at Christmas time, we took with us also a Papa Noel and all our staff dressed up as goblins and we share chocolate with milk, sweet bread and a special sweet cupcake made in Peru but originally from Italy called Paneton and we share all with all the children and parents with special Christmas songs and dances.
