Victor E. – Founder.
Victor was born in 1986 in a small village near Chinchero, one of the last remaining Inca towns. He was raised in an environment deeply immersed in Andean traditions. His parents, who were potato farmers, instilled in him a strong work ethic, a sense of community, and a deep respect for Pachamama (Mother Earth). From a young age, he observed visitors to Chinchero and developed a passion for sharing the beauty of his homeland with the world.
He pursued this dream by studying Tourism at the National University of Cusco, graduating with honors. For over a decade, Victor has worked with prominent travel companies, acquiring comprehensive expertise in the realm of adventure tourism. This encompasses a wide range of competencies, from orchestrating logistics for the Inca Trail to implementing sustainable tourism practices. In 2022, he established Qoricancha Expeditions with a clear mission: to provide authentic, sustainable, and affordable tours while supporting local communities. Victor continues to personally guide a number of our trips, offering his profound historical insight and a welcoming host presence.
