Let’s go to Patacancha, family!

In Patacancha, modern life is like a shy visitor. It only leaves small traces, like a shared cell phone, a battery-powered radio, and tools for farming. The houses, made of adobe and stone with straw roofs, are scattered across the mountains, which stand tall and silent, watching over the people who walk on their slopes.

Here, AB Expeditions has arrived like a colorful hummingbird, finding its purpose in this remote place that’s often overlooked. This agency not only guides travelers along ancient paths but also creates real support for the people of Patacancha.

The Story of Alejandrina and Her Children

One powerful example of this commitment is Alejandrina’s story. She lives in Patacancha and lost her husband, leaving her as a widow with three children: Gilberto, 11, Sheyla, 5, and Karina, 2. On the day the community gathered to say goodbye to her husband, AB Expeditions was there—not just with food, but with a plan to secure a brighter future for her children.

Education: The Key to the Future

Through its social responsibility program, AB Expeditions helped by providing school supplies, books, and notebooks for Alejandrina’s children. But they didn’t stop there.

Searching for Hope

During their time in Patacancha, AB Expeditions started looking for others in need. The people here live off what their small farms provide and the modest trade of items like guinea pigs or wool. Their clothing isn’t just for warmth—it represents their identity, history, and culture. With help from the community president, the agency identified the unique needs of the villagers to provide targeted support.

Social Responsibility Areas of AB Expeditions

Through these efforts, AB Expeditions is not only exploring the beauty of Patacancha but also weaving a web of care and hope for its people.
