What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I specialize in tailor-made journeys throughout Peru, from the vibrant streets of Lima to the breathtaking Andes, the Amazon rainforest, and the shores of Lake Titicaca. I know the country's iconic highlights, such as Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Picchu, but I also enjoy introducing travelers to lesser-known places that offer a more authentic perspective.
My itineraries are designed for travelers seeking a balance between cultural immersion, nature, adventure, and comfort. Whether it's hiking through spectacular landscapes, discovering Peru's rich culinary traditions, staying with local communities, or exploring hidden gems, I create experiences that reflect each traveler's interests and pace."

How did you get involved in travel?

"Travel has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. After spending much of my youth exploring different destinations, choosing a career in tourism felt like a natural path.
I earned a Bachelor's degree in Tourism before moving to Canada, where I completed a certification in customer service and tourism. After returning to France, I worked for a tour operator, gaining valuable experience in designing and organizing travel experiences. My passion for South America eventually led me to Peru, where I now work with a local travel agency.
Today, I combine my international background, industry experience, and in-depth knowledge of Peru to help travelers create meaningful, personalized journeys and discover the country beyond the usual tourist routes."

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One of my most unforgettable travel experiences was my first visit to Lake Titicaca. Over a three-day weekend, my friends and I stayed with a local family near Llachón, where we were welcomed by a father and his two daughters.
Rather than simply visiting the region, we had the opportunity to immerse ourselves in their daily life. We helped with the harvest, learned about their traditional cooking, and shared meaningful moments that gave us a genuine insight into their culture and way of life. We also explored the beautiful islands of Amantaní and Taquile, each with its own traditions and breathtaking scenery.
This experience reminded me that the most memorable journeys are often about the people you meet and the connections you make. "
