Through Adventure Life's Grant Project the Mantay Shelter in Cusco, Peru was able to make security modifications to their facility. The Mantay Shelter supports adolescent mothers in reaching a life of dignity for themselves and their children. Adventure Life travelers have the opportunity to visit Mantay while staying in Cusco on a Peru trip. Let us know if you'd like to arrange a visit to Mantay during your Peru trip to see firsthand the good works of this great place.
