Professionalism, Experience, Responsibility
Edwin Mario Camala Tapara
Hello, my name is Edwin, I was born on March 12th, and I am 33 years old. One of my biggest motivations in life is my son; when I am not traveling, I like to share time with him, and he is amazing. I love learning about ancient history, reading books, and enjoying every trip. The languages I am fluent in are English, Spanish, and Quechua.
I have been a professional tour guide for 8 years, and I know that it is a good career to discover other countries and their different cultures. Guiding for me is more than leading the group, it is to make your vacation more interesting and unforgettable. I remember that my first experience on the road was not very easy, I was nervous and did not speak the foreign language very well. But, little by little, I improved until I became more confident and secure. It's amazing to go out in the mountains!
The routes I have mastered the most are Salkantay, Choquequirao, Lares, Huchuy Qosqo, and the one that has impacted me the most was the Inca Trail because of the biodiversity that can be seen on the route.
It has been 4 years working in Salkantay Trekking, and I feel happy to work here, it is like being in family with my colleagues and I wish that the company continues to grow. There are no limits!

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.
Highly Recommend
Amoroso was a fantastic guide. Would recommend to anyone. He was a very knowledgeable about the history of his ancestral land and went of his way to make sure our experience was as nice as possible.
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!
