About Casita Huarán
Our history
Casita Huarán has been part of our family for around 50 years. Here, we have lived and learned everything we know about life in the field, such as agriculture, livestock, and doing community work. Also, we have learned ancestral techniques such as Ayni, which is the basis of community work and translates to reciprocity. For 4 years, we have focused our work towards a more complete project working with sustainable tourism without neglecting our customs, taking into account the changes that have been taking place around the sacred valley.
Our mission
Casita Huarán collaborates with the community by providing free and regenerative opportunities for growth and integral well-being through entrepreneurship, educational programs, ecological agriculture, and development of conscious tourism through our services in harmony and connection with nature. We achieve this goal through our three pillars of integral operation: Casa Cultura – Organic Production on farm and ranch – Case de Hospedaje.
Our vision
To be a model of sustainable family economics for the Andean children and become their second home and family, raising their quality of life and safeguarding their Quechua culture and resources. This beautiful and respectful bond of trust was born and, naturally, the true stories of adversity that these families faced developed.
