Diana Hidalgo is a Lima native who grew up traveling throughout Peru with her parents. In her adventures through the North Coast region of ancient pre-Incan civilizations, she developed a passion for the fascinating layers of culture that make Peru so extraordinary. She also got an early start as a trekker on family hiking and camping trips, and particularly loves being on the trail in Peru's mountains. Guiding since 1993, Diana is one of our most beloved and experienced Peru Trip Leaders. “On our trips I love to visit local markets and family homes where we can learn about how people live, or stop into a local bar to try a game of Sapo (ancient Inca coin toss) and see how the women prepare a batch of chicha (traditional corn beer). I am very proud of Peru—the history, environment, landscape, traditions, and everything about our culture. In my work I share my love of all these things with travelers every day.”
