Vidal Gamboa is the director and founder of Vidal Expeditions. He was born in a small village in the Andes, surrounded by majestic mountains, and worked as a farmer from a young age.

While studying, he worked in various jobs to support himself and his parents with great effort and dedication.
Now, as the founder and director of Vidal Expeditions, he is dedicated to creating unforgettable experiences across all our adventure routes. Growing up in the Andes, he developed a deep respect for nature, local traditions, and the ancient Inca heritage — values that inspire every journey we offer.
