Born and raised in the heart of the Amazon, I grew up surrounded by the wonders of nature in a small jungle community. As a child, I would sit outside my home, gazing at the endless rainforest, dreaming of exploring the world. When I finally did, I discovered something even greater—my true calling: sharing the Amazon’s beauty, culture, and traditions while protecting its fragile ecosystem.

With a deep passion for my homeland, I became a certified Official Tourism Guide and built a career in the travel industry, working in roles such as tour guide, lodge manager, marketing assistant, reservations executive, and sales manager. Yet nothing compares to the joy of guiding adventurers through the Amazon—helping them connect with nature, discover incredible wildlife, and experience the magic of the rainforest.

My experience extends far beyond the Peruvian Amazon. I have worked as a wildlife and photography guide in the northern Pantanal, Brazil, a region of dense rainforest and towering trees, home to elusive species like harpy eagles and tapirs, making it a paradise for wildlife photographers. In Patagonia, Chile, I was involved in wildlife monitoring projects, deepening my understanding of conservation in extreme environments. Additionally, I spent time in Alaska as a specialized photography guide, leading expeditions focused on grizzly bear observation and photography. These diverse experiences have refined my expertise in wildlife tracking, photography expeditions, and immersive nature tourism.

I specialize in sustainable tourism, ensuring that every experience not only brings travelers closer to nature but also contributes to the conservation of the Amazon and supports local communities. Through responsible travel, we can protect this extraordinary ecosystem for future generations while offering visitors an authentic, life-changing adventure.

Today, I lead immersive expeditions in Tambopata, Madre de Dios, offering unique experiences for nature lovers, photographers, and explorers seeking more than just a trip—a true Amazon adventure with a purpose.

Join me in the Peruvian Amazon, where every journey supports conservation, and every experience leaves a positive impact!
