  Description

  Hi, I'm David
  originally from the city of Quillabamba, located in the jungle of Cusco, in this city many years ago we started a tourism project together with a cooperative organization, the objective was to involve small scale coffee, cocoa and tea farmers within the tourism activity, we provided to them some loans, training and assistance. this farmer are organic and fair trade certified.
  
  Currently, as a local travel operator, we continue to promote and work with families in the spirit of continuing to supporting them. As a local company we also offer travel services in southern part of Peru and mainly in the area of Cusco and Machu Picchu. Our speciality is to visit small scale farmers, with whom, we developed coffee and cocoa experiences at their own farms, which allows us to show a little of our culture from the perspective of our diverse agriculture.
  
  At home you can share the common areas with us, Ana, who is my partner and supports us in accounting, and my person, i am in charge of the business. Sometimes there are extra staffs, who helps us with the operative part, this may be depending on the tourism season.
  
  2024: now, as a consequence of the pandemic, Ana had to move to another town to work, the only person who is working from home is me (we have an office in the apartment). now the high season for tourism is starting we plan to work also with some locals so maybe when you decide to join us, there will be another person helping us.
