Social Responsibility
At Qatawi Tours Peru, we believe that tourism should not only be an enriching experience for travelers but also a tool for creating a positive impact on local communities. As part of our commitment to social responsibility, we focus our efforts on supporting the communities of Paruro, an area that receives little social assistance, where we strive to generate real and sustainable change.
Our Commitment to Paruro
The communities of Paruro, in the Cusco region, face various challenges related to access to basic resources, education, and economic opportunities. At Qatawi Tours, we take responsibility for contributing to their well-being through initiatives that foster community development and improve quality of life.

We believe that education is the foundation for the progress of any community. Therefore, we undertake actions such as:
- Donation of school supplies: Providing school materials, books, and educational resources for children and young people.
- Volunteer programs: Facilitating traveler participation in educational and cultural activities.
- Support for school infrastructure: Assisting in the improvement of classrooms and learning spaces.
2. Economic Development and Sustainable Tourism
We aim for tourism to directly benefit the people of Paruro through:
- Promotion of handmade products: Encouraging the purchase of locally crafted artisanal goods.
- Training in sustainable tourism: Providing education in hospitality, guiding, and traveler services for community members.
- Creation of community-based tourism experiences: Offering our clients the opportunity to explore Paruro from the perspective of its residents, generating direct income for the community.
3. Sustainability and Environment
Our commitment to Paruro also includes protecting the natural environment and promoting sustainable practices:
- Reforestation and conservation: Organizing tree-planting events and water source protection initiatives.
