I am Rosbel Borda Quispe from the Inca city of Cusco. I work as a tourism guide on many tourist routes from Cusco. I have been working for around fifteen years in the tourism field, and, of course, I feel fortunate to be part of this wonderful industry.

I love to share our culture with everyone I meet, to speak in Quechua if possible, and above all about Machu Pichu.

I go to the Inca city of Machu Pichu at least once a week, and I always feel something new in that magical place, I have been there hundreds of times and I would not get tired of visiting it for the rest of my life.

Tupanachisqama!!!

[Editor’s note: Tupanachisqama means “I will meet you again” in the Quechua language of Peru’s Indigenous Andean people. Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel perched high in the Andes Mountains of Peru, known for its sophisticated dry-stone construction and panoramic views. Often called the “Lost City of the Incas,” it served as a royal estate or religious site and was brought to international attention by Yale professor Hiram Bingham in 1911, guided there by local farmers who had long known of its location.]
