Cesar Peña as TV fixer and guide

Reviewed July 13, 2015

Cesar was a wonderful fixer and guide (and on-screen talent!) for our television crew while we filmed in Inquitos and up/down river into Pucaurqillo. He took care of our crew and managed our very complicated requirements with great humour and warmth. Thank you again Cesar.

Cesar Pena guiding us through Peru's "red zone"

Reviewed March 10, 2015

Cesar was our guide through Peru's "red zone" from Puerto Ene down past Pucallpa during our 2013 source to sea expedition down the Amazon www.kayaktheamazon.com While this was not your typical guided jungle trip, we still relied heavily on Cesar's local insight. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and extremely helpful in procuring all the necessary permissions to travel through this area, and with the face to face interactions with the locals. He helped us find safe camping spots, hired good local motorized canoe drivers and was an invaluable resource when it came to "tricky situations" where the local Ashaninka people were unsure of who we were or what we were doing. Despite being in a fairly stressful situation, Cesar still found time to point out Pink Amazonian River Dolphins to us!

Cesar Pena: More Than a Guide

Reviewed December 10, 2014

I have been on two river trips on the Amazon with Cesar. The first one was in 2012 with a group. The second one was in July 2014 and there were just three including Cesar. On the first trip Cesar provided excellent service with regard to river navigation, translating and even cooking, The only trouble we had was when we did not have him with us. When the second trip came up I immediately contacted Cesar. He quickly embraced the spirit of the trip which was to be an attempt by a deaf paddler to break the existing record for paddling from Iquitos to Belem, Brazil. Arrangements had been made for a number of Brazilian paddlers to join us in Iquitos. When none of the Brazilians showed up Cesar enthusiastically volunteered to be my partner in a tandem kayak. The deaf paddler was in a solo kayak. The failure of the Brazilians to appear changed the entire focus of the trip. We decided to paddle from Iquitos to Santa Rosa at the Peruvian border with Brazil. Once again Cesar provided excellent service and we had a great time paddling hours at a time occasionally stopping to visit a villaage or wander down a beach. His open and friendly manner gained us acceptance at homes and villages for camping, shopping and dining the entire way. He is an enthusiastic and knowledgable guide and will be an immediate asset for your business.
