Acclimatizing Tour support community to a Traditional village where we will donate

Huaraz - Today, we embark on a significant acclimatizing tour with a charitable twist. When you make a payment, 5% of the total price is allocated to purchase goods for a selected individual or village in need. This initiative is organized in the presence of contributors, allowing those who purchase our tours and travel products to witness the impact of their contribution firsthand. We do not favor any specific village, community, or individual; instead, we randomly select a remote village or community and thoroughly investigate their needs with the help of local governors, priests, or other key figures. Once we identify a person, child, elder, homeless individual, or community in genuine need, we schedule them for the next acclimatizing tour. This full-day tour includes visits to lakes, scenic viewpoints, natural tourist spots, local artisans, and opportunities to observe local traditions and culture. Upon reaching the designated recipient, we make the donation in the presence of contributors, ensuring transparency and direct impact, unlike many large organizations where donations often end up in luxury offices or black bank accounts. By participating in this tour, you create lasting memories and make a real difference. We deeply appreciate your support and thank you on behalf of the Huaraz and surrounding communities. The tour concludes with a return to the Huaraz Hotel, with an expected arrival by 7pm.
