My name is Pierre, I'm half Swiss and half Brazilian. I was born and raised in Brazil but I lived in Geneva, Switzerland, for 7 years, where I studied and graduated in Communications and Language. I also worked as a librarian on an Art School called HEAD (Haute école d'art et de design). I decided to return to Brazil in 2017 and I started looking for new jobs. My father is also a tour guide and he's been guiding in the Amazon for 35 years, so I decided to go on some tours with him and another tour guide friend. I worked with them as a photographer for 1 year until I decided I was ready to guide myself. I completely fell in love with this work and I've been guiding since 2018. Sometimes I think I was born to be a tour guide, like father, like son. My father has worked as a tour guide in many movies like Medicine Man, Anaconda, Fitzcarraldo and even on a Michael Jackson song called "The Earth Song". I have many special stories to tell about the Amazon, stories that only my father and I can share. I speak 5 languages and I'm passionate for nature, history, anthropology, archeology, medicinal plants and literature. My tours are enriched by these topics. I also have great knowledge about birds. I absolutely love my work and I have great pleasure in showing the beauty and the secrets of the Amazon. Confucius, the Chinese philosopher said : "Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life. " and that's what I did! I'm very flexible, so we can work together to make a customized tour that suits you. I work really hard to provide the best possible experience in the Amazon! ·Official Tour Guide License by Cadastur ·2nd Generation Tour Guide ·Graduate of Communications and Language (Geneva, Switzerland) I am not a driver. I can accompany you in your vehicle or I can arrange for a separate car and driver.

    We actually customized this tour with guide as shore excursion while in Santarem & he was very responsive as to our interests and requests as well as ship time. An air conditioned car was provided which was a huge plus as compared to to Viking ship 3 hr tour on non air conditioned hot crowed bus. Very good English and knowledge base.

    Pierre did an outstanding job as our tour guide. Everything went as advertised and the personal touch of having refreshments at the end of the tour was well done. Pierre was very informative as to the details of the Amazon River as well as the forest. Very knowledgeable with the bird population, and the plant and tree species. Well done Pierre. Thank you.

    I can't possibly say enough good things about this guide and his tours--both in Santarem and Alter Do Chao. Both destinations selected by Pierre were outstanding for natural interest and beauty, as well as historical and cultural context added by Pierre. His mother was involved in preparing local delicious snacks and drinks served in beautiful outdoor locations, always...

    Pierre and his family were AMAZING. This still ranks as one of the best experiences we've ever had on any cruise excursion. Our time on the (self-described) "Amazon Queen", learning about the history and culture with Pierre, and seeing the beautiful animals in their own habitat will forever be a memory we'll cherish. Thank you for making it such a wonderful time!
