We can’t start to talk about our team without mentioning the founder first. The person who with an ideal and a lot of hard work started what Peru Trek Company is now. The owner and our proud boss, Cecilio Consa.
Cecilio Consa, the owner and director of Peru Trek Company, was born in one small village near sacred valley. He was raised speaking quechua – the local language. His parents still live on his family farm coming into the city once a week to sell their vegetables. He studied his elementary and high school in the same village and when he graduated he went to Cusco as he always dreamed of being a Systems Engineer. Along the way, a friend from his village invited him to be a porter on the Inca Trail and he immediately changed his focus, falling in love with the sounds of the tourists – their language, their habits. He immediately enrolled in the University studying tourism and English while working as a porter at the Inca Trail. Once he graduated from University, he worked in a local company’s office for a bit and finally became a licensed tour guide. Working in all these different capacities in tourism and for several companies, he always felt the companies were too focused on money and less on people. That was the main reason to start this great project of Peru Trek Company.
