A Dream Come True:

Born The Machu Travel Foundation For The Local Young Promises

In this line, the Machu Travel Foundation is a non-profit organization created in 2015 in Cusco – Peru, as part of the social commitment of Machu Travel Peru Company. The Foundation develops social sports projects through comprehensive support for talented mountain bikers with limited financial resources of the Cusco tourism zones and their surroundings.

The direct support consists of economic maintenance, provision of sports equipment, training classes and practices, and subsidy in the registration of national and international championships. All this is to promote sports and good habits.

national downhill championship

As part of our mission to help develop Down Hill sporting activity, Machu Travel Peru supported the National Down Hill Championships 2018 that finished in the Community of Llicllec, Calca, in the Sacred Valley, Cusco. Therefore, we supported and helped all the participants get to their highest levels of performance and to complete their highest abilities.

Thanks to their push, their strength of will, and courage. In this form, these young people work hard to reach their objectives.

Machu Travel Peru was glad to be part of this competition supporting these athletes.  We believe that this is the best way to encourage and help new national athletes and, on the other hand, promote interest from the public in these events.

donation of musical instruments

Machu Travel Peru helps those local institutions that we feel are willing to offer good education to their students. The object of these actions is to provide tools for developing the potential of the students and to permit the best quality education. For this reason, Machu Travel Peru helps these schools and recently made a donation of musical instruments to the Uriel Garcia School in Cusco City.

This is how, in a small way, we help improve the quality of education in arts and science for the students in Cusco.

We will never forget where we come from, where our roots are and the land which we grew up in. That is why we are committed to Andean children and local teenager’s education and health care.

Through this amazing social project Niños del Arco Iris Foundation, we have found an opportunity to collaborate with hundreds of children, teenagers and their families who live in poverty, having a better present and a promising future. With the money we receive from the tourists having lunch or staying the weekend, we will give the chance to these children and teenagers to move forward from chronic malnutrition and have a nutritive lunch every day as well as health care and elementary school education.

We won’t be able to have a better world if we do not provide our children a chance to have one… Let’s give them the chance… because every child has the right to be loved, be educated, be respected… to BE.

COMMUNITY OF SALKANTAY
LOCATION: CUSCO - SANTA TERESA DISTRICT - LA CONVENCION PROVINCE

A rural community close to Cusco, that suffers from poverty the same as any community in the Highlands, that has no electricity or drinking water, with a small shop and public school that has only one teacher who must educate more than 50 children from different levels.

Towns such as these need our support. And Machu Travel Peru brought a little joy, hot chocolate and panettone to these children for Christmas 2014.
