At least twice a year, "The Mountain Fund" travels to Peru. And during the past six years, we've had the pleasure of forming a personal friendship with our Peruvian guide, Yure Chavez. Yure has been guiding in Peru for over twelve years, and we highly recommend him for your trips to Peru.
In addition to conventional tours, he's led customized tours with tailor-made iteneraries, such as adventure, ecotourism, and bird watching. He's worked with a lot of American tourists, and can answer any of your travel related questions and concerns - including safety and health issues, best restaurants, etc.
Yure says: "Without ever compromising your safety and comfort, I'll take you well off the tourist paths into the real Peru, the country I know inside-out!"
Yure has the advantage of his in-depth knowledge about Peru, which comes from first-hand experiences of being a life-long native of Peru. He was born in Cusco, where he went to the University for five years to be licensed in tourism. His spoken and written English is excellent, and he's a terrific communicator. He also speaks Spanish, Quechua (local Peruvian language), and French.
Yure's got a great sense of humor, and is very involved with Andean Anthropological Studies (costumes, traditions and social customs). He's also got a real passion for helping his fellow Peruvians and giving back to his community. And, as program manager for "Peru Trek4Good", he donates a percentage of his profits to our Peru-based micro-finance program called Aynikuy. In Quechua, "Aynikuy" means to help each other or to cooperate.
We encourage you to visit Yure's blogspot and read more about his tours in Peru!
