Hi guys, my name is Carlos, and this is my life. I was born on April 22, 1977, and my biggest motivation is my beautiful mother, who always supports me at all times. I am fluent in English, Spanish, Italian and Quechua; in my free time, I like to go out with my friends and tell them our experiences on the Salkantay route.

I chose the incredible career of tourism because I love to know new places and learn about our history. It is really rewarding to know that our great ancestors achieved with their great wisdom and respect for everything that surrounds us (Pachamama). A word as simple as "guiding" means a lot to me. It is sharing my culture and traditions with visitors from all over the world. It makes you feel that your family is here and will always welcome you with open arms. Guiding for me is to teach our visiting brothers and sisters respect for everything around us.

One emergency I remember was when I went on the Salkantay Trek 5D, and the river flow had increased; the passengers were worried, but I had to calm them down to cross the road without fear. With the help of one of the younger passengers, we made it across the river. It was a real team effort, and at all times, I was able to gain their trust. Positive energy and optimism in these circumstances are indispensable in not despair.

In the eight years that I have been guiding, the route that has impacted me the most was Choquequirao. You must explore! I have been with Salkantay Trekking for three years now, and more than a company, it is a great organization where each of us is a fundamental part of its development.

Amazing all round

They are very professional and friendly. The tour guides and food services are amazing. The vans were brand new and very comfortable. I wouldn’t use any other tour service and you shouldn’t either!! We did the short Inca trail trek as well as rainbow mountain with them.

5D/4N Salkantay Trek

Myself and my partner did the 5D/4N salkantay trek in December 2021 with Alex and Fredy as our guides and it was one of the best experiences we have done. The food and the accommodation were fab and whilst the trek was challenging at times it was super fun and very rewarding.

AMAZING

We did the half day city tour and the one day Machu Picchu tour and it was amazing. Our guides, Fredy Apaza and Ricardo were not only friendly and warm people, but EXTREMELY knowledgeable. They provided us with so much information not only about the sites but about the ancient and modern culture. Their peruvian pride really was special. They offered all help from advice with our stay in the city to taking all of our pictures. They gave us the most incredible experience. I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone, especially with our guides.

Excellent

Seeing a new side of life made the whole trip that much more personal. Aside from Franz and Carlos guiding and teaching us about the Andean life, they had such high spirits that kept us going! I would ask for them specifically in my next trip!

Best experience EVER!

My friend and I did the Humantay Lake and Salkantay Pass Trek with the most awesome guide, Jorge! The views were amazing, the service was great! The meals included were delicious and they even give you snack packs for your day hikes. What made the experience great was Jorge. He was super friendly, kind, respectful and the best cheerleader. The treks are not a walk in the park, but Jorge shared interesting facts and the history of the places along the way making everything enjoyable. And whenever he noticed I was tired, he would cheer me on. Book this trip! You will not regret it. Muchas gracias Jorge!!!

Best 5 days ever

The Salkantay Classic 5 day was the most incredible experience of my life. Our guide Fredy Apaza Huarhua was absolutely outstanding. He was both knowledgeable and good-humored. He made sure everyone had a great time and was hugely supportive during tough times. I would 100% suggest this trek to anyone in great physical condition and a taste for adventure!
