Description
All hikes, tours, and classes are led by friendly, experienced adolescent youth guides from Niños Del Sol Children’s Home. Your payment, which is a tax-deductible donation in the United States, helps support the Niños Del Sol Children’s Home in Urubamba and our companion residence for college kids in Cusco.
Our adolescent and young adult Niños designed these programs on their own, guided by their lifelong interactions with tourists to the Sacred Valley. They’re learning business skills as well as practicing their English while they earn a part-time income and help support their home.
We are contacted by many tourists who want to visit our home, bringing gifts or offering the gift of their labor, but for kids, this is a better option. They are learning how to earn rather than passively receive, and they are meeting donors as equals, with something of value to offer in exchange for your donation. Thank you for supporting this program.

Zenobia cooked for our groups when we were in Peru in early 2019. All my group members just adored her — she’s very patient and kind and has a great sense of humor. A class with her would be so fun!
