Parwa Community Restaurant, Peru

Location -  Sacred Valley, Peru

Parwa Restaurant is owned by the Huchuy Qosqo Association, a community-based tourism enterprise. For years, residents of the area saw tourism flourish in neighbouring cities and areas but were unable to benefit from tourism themselves. With the help of our local partner a community restaurant was created to provide training and jobs. All ingredients for the restaurant are sourced from local community farmers and all income earned is used to reinvest in social projects for the community. The employees of the restaurant have monthly salaries, health insurance and pensions. Around 25 other local businesses receive assistance to capitalise on the steady stream of 1500 travellers who pass through Huchuy Qosco village.
