I am a lucky man to have been born in one of the villages close to the beautiful Cordillera Huayhuash, and to have known these landscapes since I was a child. I have trekked their trails many times and have worked for different local travel agencies in Huaraz (the mecca of adventure travel in the Peruvian Andes) organizing tours to the different places in Peru. With lots of experience gained in tourism, computer programming, and languages, at 30 years of age I organize and coordinate all the details of the tours we offer in the Cordilleras Huayhuash and Blanca.
I am fluent in English and I am an intermediate level French speaker. Quechua and Spanish are my first languages.
