May Jony Arriaga Chavez

I am a professional certified tour guide in Iquitos - Peru since 12 years ago. I'm the oldest son among my 9 brothers and sisters (It was a tradition to have big families in the jungle), and I'm a father of a 5-month-old boy. I was born in a remote jungle village, which put me in the perfect position to introduce, explain, and share the traditions and cultures. I am fluent in English and Spanish; more than a job, guiding is my passion, and I enjoy what I do. I am ready to answer all your questions and doubts and, of course, overcome your expectation!!

From USD 35 / Screen
