When I was a schoolboy I realized I really love sharing my local culture, tradition and history with others, meeting new people and making friends. I was also good at learning English. Thus, all these background made my mind up to study Tourism. In addition, I was born and raised up in a village. Then who better than me can know the local culture and history as I have grown up speaking two languages: Quechua and Spanish, the first one, is our ancestors' language (my mother language too) with about 1. 5K years of speaking widely in the Andes. I have been guiding for the last 7 years. I am so excited to be more than your Tour Guide, a friend to trust in, who can guide you through this mysterious, historical and wonderful city, showcasing you the highlighting points, touring through the places off the beaten and making your journey unforgettable as I am passionate of what I do, because 'guiding' to me is not only a job but rather, a passion to which you (your family/friends) are welcome. What makes my city and country quite interesting are all the inheritances we possess, our ancestors named as Inka's works. Such as archeological sites, terraces, trails, stonework, culture, customs, language, crops and on. Which can be visited on Day/Multi-day customizable trips.
