As a kid I lived in the Peruvian mountains in a small rural community where I learned about my ancestress culture and idiosyncrasy since my grandmother was one of them.  There is where I learned the Inka native language... the 'Quechua' that I speak - this language is spoken by 1/3 of Peruvians or 8 million people in Peru specially in the high lands where we’ll meet them.

About my experience - I have worked for 12 years guiding.  I started studying English at the age of 13 and like it very much. While studying English I decided to study tourism.  I studied tourism to be a guide and I was at the Faculty of Arqueology at the University of Cusco. I really like what I do.

When I finished the Faculty of the Tourism, I lived at Machu Picchu for nearly half a year doing my professional practices on guiding, and I love to be in the mountains.  

 I also did practices in the different museums in Cusco, I took courses on Biology to learn about the plants besides what is taught to us at the Faculty, and also took courses on birds.

About myself,  I can say that I was lucky to be able to study tourism to be an official tour guide because after 12 years guiding I still enjoy it a lot, I like to be with people and teach them about the past of my country and my ancestress that I'm so proud about.
