My journey as a guide began over 20 years ago, and since then, I've had the privilege of guiding over 27 different nationalities.

This drives me to constantly seek out the best places, the most flavorful restaurants, and the most fascinating stories, always perfecting every detail. Peru is not just my country; it's my home and my greatest passion. Discovering its secrets has taken years of exploration.

Join me on this journey, and let's make your Peruvian adventure so incredible that you'll end up loving this country as much as I do! If you have a special request, I can customize your trip. I hope to see you soon.

May 2026It was great to be able to organize the tour for you and take you to the best restaurants in Lima and the most iconic places in our city. Thank you.
