History:
In 2022, Sinkumunchis conducted a national census of farming communities. During that campaign, the case of Jair Huaman (25), then leader of his community and founder of a youth movement in his locality, caught attention. He mentioned that his community had many talented boys and girls who could benefit from a Sinkumunchis program.
The conversations went well, and as Sinkumunchis’ first expansion, that year the community hosted the 1st Intercommunity Tournament: Maras vs Pisac. In 2024, it also hosted the Interregional Tournament: Cusco vs Andahuaylas, a sports event sponsored by the company Yape-Digital Wallet.

Located 45 minutes from Cusco on the way to Urubamba, we find the districts of Maras and Chinchero. In this area, there are very important archaeological sites such as the Maras Salt Mines and the Inca agricultural laboratory of Moray.
The rural town of Ccollanas-Chequerec lies at the foot of Lake Huaypo, at about 3,600 meters above sea level. Also, less than 10 minutes away are the Racchi Farming Community and the rural town of Mahuaypampa.
