Summer Plan: improvements to local roads

Peru Cepsa

The town of Macuya and annexed districts and sectors, and the Los Ángeles hamlet, both within the Tournavista municipality and near to our E&P Ucayali asset, have safe transit issues due to the precarious state of their local roads. During the rainy season, the inhabitants have problems accessing public services, food and local markets where they sell their agricultural produce, among other issues. In 2021, Cepsa launched the 'Summer Plan' initiative in the context of the dialogue initiated in July 2021 by the National Government and the authorities involved in developing Macuya. This initiative consists of gravelling local roads to benefit eight districts annexed to Macuya and the Los Ángeles hamlet. The main objective is to improve vehicle traffic on the local roads throughout the year, allowing the continuous selling of agricultural and livestock products, so as to revitalise the local economy.
