Meet Carlos, our Lima and Cusco expert for Peru. Born and raised in Lima, but based out of Cusco for the last decade, Carlos is our go-to for help planning everything from a whirlwind 5-day Machu Picchu express to an 8-week journey through the whole country.
Carlos' experience with tourism first started while working as an airline technician at Lima airport. After deciding he wanted to be on the airplanes instead of fixing them, he landed a job as a tour guide. With a few breaks to live in Switzerland, Australia, and Brazil, he spent 15 years guiding trips throughout Peru and Latin America for various American and Australian companies. He now runs his own operation in beautiful San Blas, Cusco planning bespoke trips for small groups looking to go beyond just the highlights.
A believer in the Andean Cosmovision, Carlos can help you develop a unique itinerary that hits all the best of Peru while also making time to discover ancient traditions and the kaleidoscope of Andean cultures. And of course, always a Limeño at heart, he's got the best ceviche recommendations wherever you go!

There's a reason why Rio de Janeiro is called "A Cidade Maravilhosa" - the marvelous city. Spend 15 minutes on Ipanema beach and you get it. Spend anything longer and you might never leave.
To discover the best that Rio has to offer, hop on a call with Tim. He may not be a carioca da gema (slang for a born and raised Rio resident), but after 20 years calling this stunning place home, he's pretty damn close. Tim runs a local travel agency in Rio focused on taking clients diving headfirst into Rio's culture, nightlife, gastronomy, and endless natural attractions (he also might take you literally diving, if that's your thing!) And when he's not working, he's still kind of working: you can find him out exploring every inch of Brazil in his retrofitted T2 Volkswagen van. Tough job...
Whether you've got a few days in the city or a month to explore the entire region, Tim's seen it all and can help you make a plan that's tailor-made to you.
