During three days of cleaning, more than 1,000 volunteers participated in the Together Save Wilkamayu 2026 campaign.More than 40 tons of solid waste were removed from the Vilcanota River and its main tributaries during the Together Save the Wilkamayu 2026 campaign, promoted by the National Water Authority (ANA), through the Vilcanota Urubamba Interregional Basin Water Resources Council (CRHCI-VU).
The initiative mobilized more than 1,000 volunteers, including students, authorities and representatives of various institutions, who participated in cleaning days held in the provinces of Urubamba, Calca and Quispicanchi.
