I'm Hugo Richard M., your private tour guide in Puno

Guide #56918

Hi, I'm Hugo! I was born and raised by Lake Titicaca, and Puno has been my home for most of my life. I've been guiding here since 2010, and I still get excited every time I take someone out on the lake for the first time. It all started in a simple way: travelers would stop me on the street to ask how to get somewhere or where to find a good meal, and I loved helping them. That's still what I enjoy most, making your trip easier and sharing the place I'm proud to call home. I'd love to show you the Uros floating islands, Taquile and Amantaní, and the quiet peninsulas of Llachón and Luquina. We can also visit the Sillustani tombs, walk through Puno and Chucuito, or travel together to Cusco or La Paz with stops along the way. I guide trips to Arequipa and Chivay too. No two travelers are the same, so I like to shape each tour around you: your pace, your interests and the time you have. Before you arrive I'll send you a few practical tips, and on the tour I'll tell you the stories and the everyday life behind each place, the way locals live it. Write to me with your dates and what you'd like to see. I'll get back to you soon with ideas, and I'm happy to answer any questions along the way. - Licensed official tour guide in Peru since 2010 - More than 10 years guiding in Puno, Arequipa and Cusco - Advanced English certificate (CAE) - Driver's license to transport travelers in Peru

    Responsive, good command of English, and flexible to change. One of us struggled greatly with altitude sickness and the tour had to be cut short and other measures taken but he and his team rolled with it and provided us the help we needed.

    Truly a wonderful experience. Hugo was a thoughful, knowledgable guide to the mountain. He helped adjust pacing so that I could make it up the steep trail and gave me lots of detail about the local climate and history in slow, clear Spanish so I could understand. I felt like I got a tour and a bonus full-day Spanish lesson.

    Tour by far the best I’ve experienced in Peru…..Hugo was exceptionally knowledgeable of current and past interpretations of the sites and their significance/history and also fielded all of my many historical and cultural questions of Peru. A pleasure to spend the day with!

    Hugo was pleasant, patient, knowledgeable, and considerate. He made a long journey enjoyable, comfortable, and educational. Our entire group of 8 truly enjoyed his company. Thanks Hugo!
