The Ambassador of the Incas
If there were a list of secret precepts that every Cusco tour guide must follow, being mystical would be the most important. The capital of the Inca Empire is an energetic center that attracts tireless travelers. Wayra, a small-framed man in his thirties, with slanted eyes and light wrinkles that appear on his face when he sings in Quechua, walks in front of the Qorikancha, the temple that Pachacútec built to worship the sun and that now receives thousands of visitors daily.
His pace is slow and cautious, just enough so that the 25 tourists following him don’t suffer the effects of the altitude. They walk behind him, convinced that this leader will guide them that afternoon: he knows the path, the history, the rituals, and the traditions. The memories of this trip will be summarized in his words.
“One must be mystical to be a guide,” says Wayra as he pauses, lifts his head, raises his voice, and calls out to his “sheep”: “Come here, please.”
His real name is Adrián Yabar Luna, but he prefers to be called Wayra (wind, in Quechua).
– “You can also call me Wind,” he adds with a smile…

We searched extensively in their online archives and across the internet, but unfortunately we could not find the digital version of this note. That is why we have preserved it in print, keeping a newspaper copy and even framing the article to ensure its conservation.
The only online reference we managed to locate was in a traveler’s blog, which reproduces the story.

About Us
Wayra Adventures was born from the vision of Adrián, better known in Cusco and the travel world as “Wayra” one of the first professional tour guides in the city, with over 35 years of experience leading travelers through the heart of the Andes.
Wayra is not just a guide. He is a guardian of Andean wisdom, deeply connected to the traditions of his ancestors. For decades, he has guided adventurers through every trail, from the iconic Machu Picchu to the hidden valleys and sacred lakes of Cusco. Alongside his work as a guide, he also practices Andean spirituality, performing “Pago a la Tierra” (Offerings to Mother Earth) and traditional shamanic rituals, connecting visitors with the living culture of the Andes.
Fluent in Spanish, English, and Quechua, Wayra has welcomed travelers from all around the world, sharing not only landscapes but also the soul of the Andes. His mission is simple: to create authentic and meaningful experiences that go beyond tourism, allowing visitors to truly feel the magic of Peru.
Now, with the creation of Wayra Adventures, he embarks on a new journey building a travel agency that carries the spirit of his life’s work. Through this project, Wayra seeks to share his adventures, knowledge, and passion for the Andes with those ready to live an unforgettable experience.
With Wayra Adventures, you are not just a traveler. You become part of a story, a tradition, and a legacy.
