Dreams Come True

Local indigenous visit Machu Picchu

December of 2024, Orange Nation once again fulfilled the dreams of 36 children and their parents from the indigenous community of Pampamarca way up in the Andean mountains in the south of Cusco. They got to tour Cusco City, Sacred Valley and the Citadel of Machu Picchu all paid for by Orange Nation.  These are children do not have the resources nor ability for many reasons to be able to experience the historical sites of their Inca heritage.  Orange Nation wants to give them a once in a lifetime experience up close and in person of their heritage and restore their pride in their culture, history and Inca heritage.

Why Orange Takes Children to Machu Picchu

Orange Nation believes it is extremely important to give the native Indigenous people of the Andean highlands that live in the more isolated mountainous regions around Cusco, the opportunity to see and experience Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, and Cusco. Their ancient descendant’s historical sites. We are hoping to restore to the people of the indigenous communities, a pride and an understanding of the importance of their history, heritage, and ancient culture.

The people of these communities have been marginalized in some cases by society and may lack basic necessities in their communities. They lack education, health services, adequate food and housing etc. It is sad that millions of foreigners now have the opportunity to experience Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, & Cusco. They learn  the Incan heritage, history, and culture. The native Inca populations of these communities in the Cusco Region that live so close to Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley, and Cusco do not have that privilege to do so.

Last year, 2023, Orange Nation offered the students of the community of Cucani, one of the highest mountain regions around Cusco a free tour of Cusco, and Sacred Valley. The children had never had an opportunity to travel outside of their isolated community. They also enjoyed the experience of eating rotisserie chicken for the first time. A popular dish in Cusco. T

In December of 2023, Orange Nation fullfilled the dreams of 22 students, by taking these students to Machu Picchu. These students have just finished their high school studies from the very remote Andean Community of Patachancha. An hour uphill outside of Ollantaytamba in the mountains: providing them round trip transportation from their communities to Machu Picchu, train and bus round trip, full meals, and guide service in their own language (Quechua). The purpose so they can know and restore pride in their culture, history and heritage through experience. This kind of educational experience is important to the students and it is a great time for them to enjoy a time together.

We would appreciate your support in these social projects of Orange Nation. You can do this by booking tours and treks with us (we use some of the funds for social projects) and of course donations will be highly appreciated also!

We had an incredible experience hiking the Inca Trail with Ray as our guide. Ray was amazing. He was super knowledgeable about the history of the Incas, and he brought that history to life. We visited three larger sites, and several smaller ones that we arrived at by foot deep in the Peruvian jungle. Ray's was an incredible, passionate, and experienced guide, and also just a great person we are lucky to have met. I also have to mention Moses, our porter who made an amazing lunch and hiked it up to our resting spot 2000 ft above the Urambamba River to Wiñaywayna.
