"Yuraq Quirucha" - Project to Promote Dental Health
The "Yuraq Quirucha" project for dental health promotion has been implemented since 2017, with the Quechua slogan meaning "WHITE TEETH."
The main objective of this project is to encourage health and dental hygiene among children from various communities in Cusco and raise awareness about its importance.
As part of this initiative, Salkantay Trekking provides each child with a toothbrush and dental floss while the accompanying dentists dynamically demonstrate the structure of teeth to the children, teach them how to brush properly, and provide information about good eating habits.
All activities are carried out with the collaboration of the company's members, including clowns who help interact with the children and make the experience fun and educational. Some of the campaigns that have been carried out are:
