About me

Growing up in Cusco, the once-great capital of the Inca Empire, I always had a passion for tourism. From my early travels to the Sacred Valley of the Incas to my master's degree in sustainable tourism, I gained a wealth of experience in the field. My visits to rural communities in the Andes, South East Asia, and Africa have reinforced my belief that people are the essence of a destination.

Committed to promoting responsible tourism, I work in destination marketing, using my expertise to drive sustainable practices and empower local communities through the transformative power of travel. Now, as I venture into social entrepreneurship, my goal is to give greater value to ancestral wisdom and build a community of responsible travelers who truly appreciate and respect them as ancestral teachers.
