Travel in South America is a joy to behold. The rich variety of destinations, experiences, landscapes and geography fascinated me so much, that I chose to relocate here, over 20 years ago! The best thing I ever did! Allow me to share my knowledge and passion for Central and South America with you and help you plan your holiday of a lifetime!

Your Name

Derwis Abraham Guillén Hernández

 

Your position in Valencia Travel

Travel Consultant

 

Derwis has worked for the Peru Travel Agency called Valencia Travel even though he is originally from Venezuela! Peru´s tourism infrastructure attracts people from all over the planet to work in tourism, as travelers continue to flock to Peru on their Machu Pichu vacation packages!

 

How Long have you worked for Valencia Travel?

I have worked at Valencia Travel since April 27th, 2022 (5 months)

 

What do you love about working in the Travel industry?

They made dreams come true for people from different locations, cultures, interests, and passions. See their happy faces when visiting each of the places that were once only a dream.

 

Lake Titicaca is a spectacular part of Peru for travelers who visit Peru. There are places to go that are touristy such as Uros Floating Islands, yet you can get away from it all and see authentic Peruvian life on Luquina!
 
 

What is your favorite place to visit in Peru?

Arequipa and Colca Canyon.

 

Where would you like to travel, given the opportunity?

I have always wanted to travel to Jerusalem. 

 

Arequipa is not always on the tourist map when our travelers at Valencia Travel visit on their Peru tour packages. We went there on a staff trip to get to know the canyon and all I can say is it is absolutely breathtaking!

 

 

What is your favorite Peruvian Dish / Drink?

The best craft beers (after Germany) are from Peru! And the Ceviche from the coast of Peru has no comparison!!!

 

What is your most memorable moment working for Valencia Travel?

There were several, and they were each of the moments that we left our desks, and as a team, we went out to explore the magical places of Peru, such as hiking the Ausangate Trek and The Inca Trail.

 

When I first came to do my Peru Machu Picchu trip I was amazed to see how many llamas there are! These wonderful creatures add a completely different dimension to your Peru adventures!
 
 

Where do you see yourself in one year?

In Jerusalem. 

 

What is the best travel tip you can give to visitors to Peru?

When boarding the plane to this magical land called Peru, forget everything back home. Remember that life is beautiful, and the best memories are created when traveling!

 

Christmas time in Peru is really special. Valencia Travel every year, visits one of the remote communities to offer a "chocolatada" to the children and sometimes even Father Chrismas will visit Peru!
