Evert Salas Cruz - Founder
Evert's journey began with a bachelor's degree in anthropology, laying the foundation for his deep knowledge of Incan history, architecture, and culture. By immersing himself in archaeological sites over the years, he honed his expertise in the complexity of Incan life and craftsmanship. His fluency in Ketch Wan, the ancient language of the Incas, further deepens his understanding and connection to this captivating civilization.
Transitioning into tourism armed with a diploma in the field, Evert's passion for imparting knowledge led him to pursue a career as a tour guide. It was during this period that he crossed paths with his wife Rosemary, and now with two grown up children his company has grown from strength to strength.
Evert's dedication extends beyond the boundaries of his own company; He assumed the role of president of all the tour guides in a region of Cusco, defending their well-being and rights. His efforts focused on ensuring that guides received equitable compensation, adequate sustenance, and appropriate equipment for their duties, prioritizing their overall well-being.
At the heart of Evert's philosophy is a firm commitment to maintaining high standards and principles on every tour. Leading by example, he sets a precedent that other companies in Peru should emulate. An integral part of this mission is the reverence, consideration, and equitable treatment of all staff and carriers, along with their families.
Evert and his team go the extra mile to provide comprehensive training to tour guides, covering history, geography, nature, and other relevant topics. This ensures that tours not only educate but are also developed to an exceptional level, enhancing each traveler's experience.
Through his leadership and unwavering dedication to ethical conduct, Evert continues to shape the tourism landscape in Peru, leaving a positive mark on both his community and the adventurers who participate in his tours.
