Boosting Local Ideas: Community Workshops in the Colca Valley

By Katherine Pivaral

In February and March, we hosted a series of community entrepreneurship workshops in Yanque and Sibayo, open to anyone interested in starting or growing a local business. 

We were fortunate to count on the support of specialists from the National University of San Agustín (UNSA), who guided participants through a learning journey from theory to action. 

📚 The first part focused on strengthening business ideas with a sustainable and regenerative tourism lens. 

🚀 The second part, we focus on going from idea to action, giving each participant the chance to work on their own project with the support of personalized mentoring based on their specific needs. 

A big thank you to the residents of Yanque and Sibayo who joined with energy, shared ideas, and committed to building tourism that benefits their communities.
