Detailed description of the Caring for the Destination Initiative: 

La Pequena Casita Hostal, led by its General Manager Luz Marina Gonzales, regularly provides social support to children living in the most forgotten communities near Cusco. They provide social support through the donations of warm clothing, school supplies, medical care, some food and through the promotion of community involvement with recreational activities.

For supporting these social programs, the General Manager collects donations from travellers throughout the year that visit her hostal in Machupicchu. Also, some profits from the business are used to support this charity program lead by Luz Marina. Good work!
