Our Team

Eddy – Owner:

Who is Eddy Chambi Cusi? We can’t start to talk about the team without mentioning the founder first. The person who with an ideal and a lot of hard work started what Runas Expeditions is now. Eddy Chambi Cusi, the owner and manager of Runas Expeditions, was born in one small village near to the Rainbow Mountain. He was raised speaking quechua – the local language and spanish. He studied his elementary and high school in Cusco City and when he graduated he wanted to become a lawyer. Along the way, his uncle 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 on 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.

 

A lot of people ask us about the importance and meaning of being a local company and why we are feeling so proud about this feature. Eddy is very passionate what he does, I am sure you will love his team Runas Expeditions.

Eddy and his team will be waiting for you.
