I can make friends from all over the world and keep in touch with them. I have learnt a lot from the people that I’ve befriended, and maybe one day I’ll have the chance to travel the world and visit them. I hope they can give me some place to stay – only for a few months haha.
I think they like me because I always pay attention to them, I listen to what they have to say, and try to help them with whatever problem they might have, whether it has to do with Peru Hop or with something unrelated. Being a tour guide is my passion, so I try to be the best I can be.
My favourite drink would be a “maracuya sour”. I love variations of the Pisco Sour, and if you want to try that particular one, you should do it in Paracas. Regarding food, I like a good “lomo saltado”, but I would choose seafood or fish. In Lima and Paracas they always serve fresh fish, and every place has its own variation on it.

I’m very passionate about music, so I would happily spend all my free time playing instruments. But I understand that sometimes, I need to do other stuff as well. Soccer is one of my favourite sports, and I often play with my childhood friends. It’s amazing that we can still make time for that.
I would like to travel to Brazil. I hope that one day there can be a Brazil Hop, because the country is so big, I just wouldn’t know how to go about visiting it. At the moment, I want to travel to Colombia to go beach hopping. It’s close to home, and everyone tells me it’s amazing.

I love learning new languages, and here I can meet people from all around the world that can teach me new phrases. What I love even more is that being a tour guide gives me the opportunity to learn about others. I talk to them about my country, and they share so much about theirs. Each anecdote helps me to understand other parts of the world. It’s an amazing cultural experience!
My dancing skills? Hahaha… Well, believe it or not, I have a great sense of humour and I try to engage all our passengers, regardless of their age. I think every single one of them is important, and I love sharing my passion for Peru with them. I treat everyone with respect, and like I said, most of the passengers who’ve met me would agree that I‘m an easy-going guy, and yeah I love dancing hahaha.

I like to listen to music, travel with my friends and try doing new and different things. The last time I tried parapenting, I really loved it. And I say try, because I wasn’t actually able to do it, hahaha. I think I will have another go soon. Good for me that I’m often in Paracas so I can practise.
I would like to travel to Australia or New Zealand. These countries have always interested me, especially Australia, which seems like such a wild place with many rare species. It might be silly, but I would love to take a road trip through this vast country, and see some kangaroos hopping around like it’s the most normal thing in the world.
Pack your bags, get out of your country, and set out to become an adventurer, not just a tourist!

My advice is to try to get a good price for souvenirs – don’t forget to bargain! Also, here eating is a pleasure, and if you’re in Peru, you cannot leave without tasting ceviche! It is our typical seafood dish, and has got a unique flavour… It’s just incredible!
The beach-side town of Paracas, for the strange and beautiful landscapes that have been naturally formed there. The weather is always sunny, and I love going out to the islands to visit the seals, or just sitting on the beach and watching the pelicans. It is a peaceful place when you want it to be, but a party is never far away.
People that travel want to have the most genuine experience of the places they visit, and the best way to do that is with someone who is from that place. Peru Hop does its best to give passengers real experiences, and we as guides love showing people our beautiful country.

I love being a guide because you can interact with people from all around the world and make friends, sometimes even friends for life. You can learn a little from everyone, and I think it’s surprising that you can have so much in common with someone that grew up on the other side of the planet, and comes from a totally different background.
The best advice that I can give you is to try everything you see! – With caution, of course. But travelling is the best opportunity you have of learning other ideas, customs, flavours, languages, etc. I feel that when you come to Peru or Bolivia, you should really try to be open to new experiences. It can be hit or miss, but eventually you will find the perfect dish, the perfect drink or the perfect place that will surprise you and make your trip, giving you memories that will last a lifetime.
