Learn about host Roger
Roger comes from a humble Andean village located above Ollantaytambo where locals speak Quechua. His parents moved the family to Ollantaytambo when he was 8 to provide Roger with better education. When a tour guide friend invited him to join a tour, Roger was captivated by the diverse languages, customs and energy among the group of foreigners. By 2021, Roger was launching a project to cultivate community-based tourism. Today he is his community’s devoted ambassador, driven to preserve traditional culture and to raise the standard of living of local families through sustainable tourism.
