Our Commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility and Sustainability
At Cusco Peru Adventure, we are dedicated to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), ethics, and humanity. Our vision of sustainability guides all our activities, allowing us to positively impact society, assist those in need, and set examples of good citizenship.
Partnership with KINDNESS IN A BOX
To realize this vision, we collaborate with the USA non-profit organization Kindness In A Box. For over 15 years, their mission has been to provide humanitarian resources for the education, health, and well-being of indigenous Quechua children and families. They focus on villages in Kacllaraccay, Mullacas, Chequerec, and Mahuaypampa in the District of Maras, Peru. In 2021 and 2022, their efforts extended to additional impoverished villages in the Province of Anta.
