Some of our staff are:
Mayumi Morales (Huaraz, Peru)
Mayumi is a qualified trekking guide and a trek cook with many years experience. She guides trekking trips, always with a great sense of humour and a lot of fun. Clients with Mayumi never stop laughing and many return to Huaraz to take a trek with her a second time. She is a very strong girl, and some of our male guides and staff have a hard time keeping up with her !! When she is not guiding she is kept busy with her two children and is also studying English.
Anne Thomson (New Zealand)
Anne lives in New Zealand and is our family friend and business asscociate. Her nickname in Peru is “La Bruja” which means “The Witch” She enjoys the New Zealand outdoors, particularly tramping, hiking and kayaking. Anne speaks Spanish and travels to Huaraz each year for trekking and climbing, and she knows the Cordilleras Blanca and Huayhuash and many of the local people very well. She admits to being terrified when climbing, but is always ready for a challenge and can’t wait to be terrified again! Anne works with our trekking crews and also helps with our administration . Anne is in Peru each year from late July until mid September.
Maria Evangelista (Huaraz , Peru)
Maria is an experienced trek cook with more than 20 years trekking around the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huayhuash. Now she prefers to be an assistant guide so that she can spend more time chatting with people and showing them the areas where she has lived and worked all her life that she loves so much.
Rolando Morales:
Rolando is 27 years old, but is like a big kid himself!! He loves playing football and having fun with kids. He is an experienced guide with a special passion for rock climbing and he can give your kids some fun practicing rock climbing at the campsites.
All our guides enjoy working together and having fun with families with children showing them what must be some of the most beautiful places in the world.

Hi Anne,
We have had a wonderful time trekking and everything was done very professionally. The only disappointment was we didn’t lose any weight!! Hisao and yourself deserve a huge pat on the back for organising and doing such a great job.we loved every moment……. Marg.
Tyler and Megan (USA) – climbing trip 2005:
Hi Anne,
I apologize for not getting back to you sooner. I did get your original email...I must say I am very impressed with the response that I am receiving from you and Hisao. Many American companies would do better if they had half of the personalized customer service that you provide…….. Tyler
Mark and Lisa (2 -USA) Santa Cruz/Quebrada Ulta and Pisco – May 2004:
Hisao,
Thank you for a fantastic trip. Lisa and I give five starts on each category on the survey form you gave me. Please feel free to give my name as a reference for a potential US client.Marco did a great job. Always willing to help. I would not hesitate to have him as a guide again. He shared his efforts to improve his English. Once he is fluent he’ll be dynamic.Bernado’s food was great. Thank you for making sure Lisa’s vegetarian dietary needs were met.
Best wishes, Mark
