My name is Ruth, I was born and grew up in Cusco, the cradle of the Inca culture. I am one of the 5 children of a couple of fathers coming from the Andes and with classic Andean customs. I learned from my parents the importance of work, perseverance, and the greatness of our ancestry. The Quechua people and the Incas. I am a determined and a fighter. I studied for 5 years at the local San Antonio Abad University of Cusco. I am very friendly and respectful. I like listening to music (especially Andean music) and I love good food, I can recommend to you the best places to eat Peruvian local food. I consider myself a lover of the Inca culture. I want to share, not just the history and knowledge with you but also our customs and our ways of life. - I have a guide card issued by the College of Graduates in Tourism, this card certifies the entrance to the tourist sites. - I have a degree as a Tourism graduate, issued by the National University San Antonio Abad of Cusco I will organize a transport with an adequate and certified driver. Thus the excursion will be more organized and assisted this way.
