Creating opportunities for kids in Pitumarca Peru

Help us provide high quality outdoor recreation for the local community of Pitumarca, Peru.

Pitumarca is a small town located in the Peruvian Andes. it’s also home to one of the main climbing parks in Peru.

We seek to provide the same opportunities most travelers get to experience in the climbing park, to the local community, making the opportunity gap and economic bridge smaller between us.

Using our privilege as a tool to hope to generate fair experiences for the locals who share their land with visiting outdoor enthusiasts yet don’t get to experience the same outdoor recreation.

Uma Rumi and 7a Escalada are two Peruvian organizations working towards the development of an outdoor program for the local youth of Pitumarca, Peru.

The program seeks to connect the young community to their land and its conservation through a year long outdoor program.

In the program we will focus on conservation, health, empathy, community, inclusion and overall positive relationships through climbing, camping, excursions, art and games.

We seek to get the young community involved in the protection of their patromony and are very conscious that an amazing strategy is through positive experiences in their environment.

The program will provide at least one outdoor experience a month for a group of 20+ children ages 4-17.

Hot meals and healthy snacks cooked by a local woman from the community (to enhance economic income in the community) will be provided.

The program has absolutely no cost for the kids involved.

The money collected will be used towards food, gas, wages, gear, infrastructure, equipment and any other investment we might need to make in order to have the program run smoothly and successfully.
