Chichubamba
Visited Destinations: Cusco
Nestled in the Sacred Valley next to Urubamba, the community of Chichubamba offers a unique alternative to conventional tourism, giving visitors the opportunity to actively participate in the authentic Andean activities and traditions that have been carried on since before the Incan empire. The agrotour in Chichubamba is a collaborative effort between the people of Chichubamba and ProPeru, a local NGO based in the city of Urubamba. In hopes of improving the quality of life for the people of Chichubamba, together we have created a project that supports sustainable social and economic development in the community, while also working to actively preserve the rich cultural heritage and traditions still alive in Chichubamba. ProPeru initiated the idea of the agro-cultural tourism project and has since worked extensively with community members in its development and execution. The benefits of this project are far-reaching, both regionally and internationally. We hope you find your experiences in Chichubamba unique and memorable! Activities: 1. Bee Keeping (Honey) 2.
