Our Founder – Ronaldo
Champions Peru Travel was founded in 2022 by Ronaldo, a proud Peruvian from a small village near the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Immersed in Andean culture, history and landscapes, he developed a deep respect for his heritage and an early interest in tourism.
After secondary school, Ronaldo moved to Cusco to study Tourism at the National University of San Antonio Abad of Cusco (UNSAAC), one of Peru’s most respected institutions.
From Porter to Travel Professional
While studying tourism, Ronaldo worked as a porter on the Inca Trail, one of the world’s most iconic trekking routes. This role gave him firsthand insight into the tourism industry, both from the traveler’s perspective and the realities faced by local staff.
During this time, he observed several challenges in the industry, including:
- Difficult working conditions
- Lack of proper equipment and support
- Low and unfair wages
- Limited opportunities for professional growth
These experiences shaped his vision and values for the future.
A Company Built on Respect and Opportunity
Motivated to enhance both tourist experiences and staff welfare, Ronaldo founded Champions Peru Travel with a clear goal:
to build a company that delivers exceptional service to travelers and ensures fair salaries, safe working conditions, and meaningful opportunities for local communities.
Today, Champions Peru Travel proudly employs local guides, porters, drivers, and staff, many from Andean communities, creating sustainable employment and a positive impact.
A Vision That Continues Today
Ronaldo remains actively involved in daily operations to ensure every tour reflects the company’s core values:
- Respect for people and culture
- Ethical and responsible tourism
- High-quality service
- Honest and transparent business practices
His journey from a small village near the Sacred Valley to founding a trusted travel company embodies the spirit of Champions Peru Travel.
