What is Cerro Arriba?
Cerro Arriba was born in Latin America to promote the teamwork and collaboration in various areas such as education, culture, art, sports, tourism and environmental conservation or deep ecology.
Our classrooms are remote places, known as wild areas, with high international tourism potential.
This project has the support of the "America a tus pies" Foundation known as Trekking Foundation.
It's was the first Foundation in Chile to develop a community concept of sports outings under a "social and environmental" perspective. Which means that in each of our activities, the care of People and the environment.
​Our mission
It is to encourage, disseminate and develop outdoor activities and related sports, including those for people with some special ability or limited mobility.
​
Our vision
It is to project ourselves from Chile as a Latin American organisation for the world that promotes outdoor life in communion and respect for the environment, with social responsibility.
​
Our history.
It is like many, and it is born from the need to do something with a high social impact, to break the comfort parameters, to contribute with a legacy to future generations.
In this way was how the Trekking Foundation invited Marcelo Pérez Hott to give a conference at the Telephone Tower in Santiago, where he began to open the path of going beyond a regular route.
At the same time, Diego Rojas was working hard in the formation of the Andean Southern Mountain Club in Osorno. Today has more than 80 members, contributing to the local mountaineering and hiking culture.
It was like the founders met each other on the route that would take them to the same place to conforming Cerro Arriba Foundation. After a series of coordination meetings and dialogues to find clear objectives that today structure the NGO, decide to specify a series of activities to the length of the time.
