Responsible People

We have launched the "Responsible People Foundation" as we would like to better the lives of the Andean people. We believe that tourism can be the greatest means how to reach it. The principle of this project is that each time you participate, you contribute to various remote Andean villages, for instance, Cochayoc. Moreover, we multiply every your contribution giving our own money.
We would like to use the means to support new social projects, schools, children and single mothers to help them to improve the quality of their lives.
