Connecting Communities

Cajamarca, Peru

Thanks to years of hard work and an investment of $80 million, the new Kuntur Wasi highway is now able to connect the communities of Chilete, San Pablo and Cajamarca, opening up new opportunities for trade and tourism and averting heavy traffic from Cajamarca.

Connecting CommunitiesAn alliance of Provias (Ministry of Transportation), Minera Yanacocha and Goldfields allowed for the 73-kilometer highway to be built with Minera Yanacocha financing $64 million of the project.

Connecting CommunitiesA special inauguration ceremony, which was covered on live national television, included notable dignitaries, such as Peruvian President Alan García Pérez; Carlos Santa Cruz, Newmont's regional senior vice president of South America; Pedro Sanchez, minister of Energy and Mining; and Enrique Cornejo, minister of Transportation.
