At Peru Well Served, we believe that travel is not just about seeing new places; it’s also about giving back to the communities that make these places special. For the past two years, we have dedicated a portion of our revenue to supporting Cruz Blanca, an organization that provides essential services to children in Ancón, Lima. This partnership is an important part of our commitment to making a meaningful impact.

Supporting a Community in Need

Cruz Blanca is a vital resource for children in Ancón, offering not just meals, but also educational support and a safe environment where they can grow. Our collaboration with Cruz Blanca helps ensure that these children have access to the basics they need to build a better future. For us at Peru Well Served, knowing that our work contributes to these efforts is both humbling and important.

A Day with Cruz Blanca

Recently, our team visited Cruz Blanca to spend time with the children and staff. We were warmly welcomed and had the opportunity to participate in daily activities. From helping with schoolwork to serving meals, it was a day full of simple, yet meaningful interactions.

One memorable activity was the “MiniChefs” session, where the children prepared vanilla truffles using crushed cookies, condensed milk, and vanilla essence. Their enthusiasm in the kitchen was a reminder of how small, hands-on activities can bring joy and create connections. It was a privilege to be part of their day and to contribute in a small way to their sense of accomplishment.

Continuing Our Commitment

At Peru Well Served, we are committed to responsible travel that respects and supports the communities we engage with. Our partnership with Cruz Blanca is one way we strive to make a positive impact beyond just tourism. We carefully plan each journey to ensure that everyone involved, from our guides to our local suppliers, is treated fairly and that our actions contribute positively to the places we visit.

We thank all our travelers and collaborators for supporting this important work. Every visit, every meal served, and every moment spent with these children helps make a difference. We look forward to continuing our efforts to support Cruz Blanca and other initiatives that align with our values.
