Eco-tourism Project

Chocco is an small community located just to 10 minutes by car from Cusco, however is very poor and small village.

Despite their poverty Chocco has an impresive nature and very pretty sight well apreciated for most of the foreigners that we could take to the community.

At the same time Chocco has social problems like teen pregnancy, alcoholism, domestic violence, etc.

We believe that we can attack the bases of the problems which generate all these social problematics, then we want to impulse the community economy through profitable activities like:

1. Eco-hikes through the community and environs with local guides (children and teenagers).

2. Chocco women weavers. (to sell produts to the groups of touris during the hikes).

3. Children crafts market. (to sell produts to the groups of touris during the hikes).

4. Eco-camps in the Chocco community.

Specifict activities for volunteers:

-To organize working groups.

-To provide technical sessions for each project.

-To promote and look for the best way to support the projects.  

-To look for and manage donations.
