Juvenal Ccahuana (Juve)

began work as a driver for bird watching groups a long time ago. Since 2002 he forms -with Wim and David- the heart of Tanager Tours. Nowadays he has an unrivalled knowledge of nearly all the established birding sites in Peru. He functions as a driver as well as a second guide. Juve is able to find the real skulkers and hidden birds, even better than most of the bird guides. For trips in Central - and North Peru we send him often without a guide. His knowledge of english is really basic , so this is only an option for customers that speak some spanish or/and accept a lower level of communication.

Juve is a very safe driver and also an outstanding mechanic - an essential requirement on trips on Peru’s rough back-country roads.
