Alvaro Bedova is a happy man as you can see from this picture! Why? Because Alvaro does what he wants to do – he works in the travel industry in South America and organizes tours around his 2nd passion, gourmet cuisine. Alvaro was born and raised in Lima Peru. After attending university his love for travel led him to the foot hills of Machu Picchu where he now owns a beautiful eco-lodge and gourmet restaurant along with his partners. Make sure to learn about Rupawasi at www.rupawasi.net (rumor has it T. Alexander will be there in May 2008). Alvaro decided to start this project to mix, as in any good recipe, both passions for travel and exquisite cuisine. Alvaro is devoted to promote and write about the wonderful country he loves so much, Peru. For culinary tours to Peru including tours centered around fine cuisine visit www.thousandflavors.com.
