OUR STORY
ANDES
ANDES come from the Andean Mountains that form a continuous highland along the western edge of South America. They represent not only the majesty of our region but also the abundance of natural resources and culture of our people.
MUNAY
Munay is a "Quecha" word and it means "Love" in its simplest and easiest language.
Reciprocal love is the true essence of the Andean Munay.
Who are we?

We seek to make a social and economic impact to improve the well-being of indigenous families in Latin America.
