Peru: Tastayoq Village Bridge Project

Community project - Peru:

Following four highly successful projects in the villages of Tastayoq and Qelqanqa, this year we revisit Tastayoq to undertake another much needed community project. Our aim is to provide a water supply to each house in the village. We will spend four days working alongside the villagers to make Tastayoq a better and safer village. The village is situated in the Urubamba mountain range standing between the great Urubamba River and the vast rain forests to the north of Cusco. Beautiful hanging valleys, high pampas, small patches of woodland and paths less trodden are the setting for this project and trek. The region is famous for its weavings, as well as its striking mountainous landscapes and rich culture and is home to the Andean equivalent of the Himalayan Sherpa. On completion of the project we shall continue onto the magnificent ruins of Machu Picchu.
