Sam Corporation Social Projects

Our companies mission and goals are to lead by example by being a socially responsible tour operator. As we trek through the Andes day after day, we want to share our love, respect and commitment to our local communities. In the surrounding environment we hold events such as our annual clean up campaigns. We raise awareness and also help maintain our beautiful and pristine trails by pickup up litter left behind. Below are some of the many social projects, we take part in throughout the year.

Clean up Campaign

SAM Corporations Peru has annual clean-up campaigns that creates awareness towards people across the planet that have the same desires to help protect the environment. It is our commitment in creating a positive and sustainable contribution towards the quality of life for rural Andean communities.

OurPlant A Tree Campaign

SAM Travel Peru is creating awareness through its Plant A Tree campaign as we work with the local communities to teach them about the positive cycle of replenishing. We teach them that by replacing a new tree in place of a cut down one, we create a solution to the deforestation issue. SAM Corporatipons have worked with the Kiswarani Community and planted 10,000 trees on the slopes of the Lares Valley.

There about 70 people take part in hard work to plant the slopes of the surrounding mountains with 10,000 Queuna trees. Queuna tree are native to the Andes Mountains and better than Eucalyptus trees, these trees are not native to the area and destroy the environment by growing over many native plants.

The Kiswarani community looks forward these newly planted tree to grow into strong forests to ensure the protection of the local wildlife and admire their beauty!
