Over the last eight years, our friends Celeste Marion, a Seattle, Washington native, and Mercedes Delgado Chavez, from Cusco, have tackled a seemingly insurmountable problem: the cultural stigma in Peru against special needs children.
As a family-owned company, Fertur Peru Travel is an active supporter of Manos Unidas — The Camino Nuevo School of Cusco, a non-profit private school, providing quality education, teacher training and parent advocacy for special needs children in Cusco.
Enjoy this slide show of photos of this year’s Semana Santa celebrations in the Peruvian highland city of Ayacucho. The pictures were taken by Marisol Chancos, operations director of Maki International.

Hilos y Colores (Threads and Colors), the Ayacucho artisan cooperative run by husband and wife team Meche Yauri and Faustino Flores, is featured here by Enlace Nacional.
