Miguel Pacsi

Miguel Pacsi was born in the highlands southeast of Cusco, not far from snow-capped Ausangate, the most sacred mountain to the Inca people. He was educated at the University in Cusco and has hiked the famous Inca Trail many times, both with our group trips as well as our Private Journeys. His father has also worked on many of WT’s trekking trips in Peru, so Miguel is a now a second-generation member of our Peru team! He is fluent in his native Quechua as well as Spanish and English and loves sharing his knowledge of Peru’s local traditions as well as its cultural and natural history.
