Guide Bio
Edwin Rojas is a fully trained Amazon Jungle Guide. He has a Master Degree in Sustainable and Responsible Tourism, and has an official tyourism certificate from the Peruvian Government. Edwin was born and raised in Lima, and can speak English, Spanish, and German fluently. He has traveled to over 40 different countries and loves sharing the Amazon Jungle with visitors.
Edwin founded his non-profit tour company, Haku Tours, to help better the lives of the communities within Lima. All the tours available support local families from the Shanty towns of Lima city, local transport, give jobs to families in need, and aid a variety of volunteer projects or donations. Edwin and his team offer the best variety of unique short day tours in and around Lima, designed especially for people on a tight time schedule, or those who want to experience ¨The Real Peru¨ with locals.
This company is more than a tour company – they are providing a true connection to visitors of Lima who would like to really see how the locals live. This company is focused on helping the local people every day through the provision of food, clothing, shelter, public spaces, education and more. Employees are required to donate two days per month to one of the ongoing community support projects. Edwin uses the profits from the tour company to provide these services and as you tour with the guides you will see that they are deeply respectful of the culture and the people and in turn beloved by all in the local communities. The Peruvian people of the Shanty towns, despite their impoverished conditions, are warm, inviting, generous and appreciative. They do not beg for help but they appreciate any opportunity provided to them to work, sell their products, and improve the lives of their children. This is a vacation investment you will be grateful for on many levels!
