CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY (CSR)
At PeruRail we work hard to promote the continuous development of the communities in our area of operations through a variety of programs.
For us, being a socially responsible company means processing our operations, resources, human capital, and environment in an intelligent manner. We create programs for improving the quality of life in our surroundings by developing new skills and encouraging the creation of new inclusive businesses.
As part of our commitment with every local community, we have developed a series of programs which include a wide variety of trainings mainly focused on 4 pillars: identity and integration, environmental care, inclusive business, and education initiatives.

Discover Machu Picchu with PeruRail
This program allows for children of the community from Cusco to enjoy a unique travel experience to Machu Picchu. We thank the Decentralized Directorate of Culture from Cusco for supporting this program by eliminating the cost of entrance to Machu Picchu.

This inclusive experience presents movies focused on cultural identity in order to introduce movie art and narration to several communities.
Through this friendly and pleasant activity, we help maintain local culture and social bonds.
Cargo and Luggage
The PeruRail cargo and luggage service allows the communities located near the railway of Machu Picchu to transport essential perishable and non-perishable food, luggage and packets, provisions.

We also develop reforestation campaigns in our area of influence, involving the population and the local authorities.

Our projects aim to increase the productivity of our surrounding communities. Our objective is to offer programs that encourage local economic development and include the communities in our value chain as local providers.
