Jose Juan Ciccia is a second-generation member of a successful Peruvian family business. Jose runs CIVA, the tourism, transport and logistics company created by his father in the 1970s when he decided to convert two trucks into buses. He would buy fruit, beer and other products to deliver from the countryside into the city. He started in a town called Canchaque in the north of Peru and grew the business from there.

During the revolution period, new roads were built, which helped the company grow, especially when the economy recovered after the 1990s. Since then, CIVA has automated processes, expanded the fleetand doubled its staff.
