It has been over 12 years since “How much burden the Inka Trail could support” a survey-investigation thesis was submitted to the San Antonio Abad National University of Cusco by Edgar to get his Degree in Tourism Business.

This can tell us how Edgar was deeply concerned about environment and the tourism impact to his homeland from the very first beginning.

Over these 12 years plus the 5-year University attendance, Edgar and his wife Magdalena also known as Maria -who holds the same Degree and also have worked for several well-reputed travel companies in Cusco, have been successful working leading groups.

Being a top performer and with at least 300 Inca Trail and other trips hiked and accounted to his personal resume, Edgar –better known as Kumaru (Syllables of the three Andean totems: Kuntur -Condor, Puma and Amaru -Snake), rapidly won prizes and was invited to lead groups not only within his own home country but in several others such as Ecuador including Galapagos Islands and Bolivia in South America.

Also because of his outstanding performance, he was also invited to give lectures on “Ecotourism and its impact in Andean Culture” in a few American academic institutions like for example, at the Radford, Roanoke and FerrumColleges in Virginia.

With this vast experience as a backup, both of them decided to support their young son Kendall –just about to get an Engineer Degree, on his endeavor to create and run his own tour company in order to provide with life-experience visits to Cusco with the best team ever: Kumaru in the field sharing his vast knowledge of Inca Culture and experience with visitors and Magdalena and Kendall with the office and management work!
