ROGELIO ARANA PORRAS

Hello friends, my name is Rogelio, and it's a pleasure to tell you my story. I was born on October 12th, and I speak English, Spanish, and Quechua. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family and children; they are my biggest motivation to strive daily.

I chose to study tourism because tourists and travelers always surrounded me. I enjoyed learning about our ancestors. Today, the information focuses mainly on our ancestors' experiences and respect for them. Kindness, patience, empathy, and a good smile when answering a passenger's question are the added values that differentiate me from others.

My mission as a guide is to be an ambassador of my culture and transmit my knowledge to others; it's what I'm passionate about in life. A good leader must effectively interact with others, knowing how to listen, support, and explain coherently all the mysteries and secrets that our country holds.

I have been working as a guide for 7 years, and I have been part of Salkantay Trekking for 5 years. The routes that I frequently do in the company are all the programs related to Salkantay because I have extensive experience in this trek. If you are interested in the Salkantay trail, then you know that the Incas created other beautiful routes, and there are different ways to get to Machu Picchu. This trek is complete. Are you brave enough to try it? You won't regret it!

Every step is a challenge, and we must take conviction. At Salkantay Trekking, we strive to give our best daily to move forward. We are a leading and innovative company comprising visionary people capable of overcoming their challenges. Here, we guarantee to exceed your expectations and enjoy yourself to the fullest while visiting Cusco, Peru. See you soon!

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!
