Send your lovely comments to topguide@wanderlust.co.uk. The deadline is the 23rd May.
"You cannot help but love ‘Effie’. Since graduating from Cusco’s Tupac Amaru University, he has spent the last 12 years leading treks across Peru, projecting his infectious energy and enthusiasm onto every group he takes on, as well as sharing his boundless knowledge of the country’s history, culture and nature. Amid guiding, looking after his family and charity marathon training – he did London 2012 dressed as a chaski (Incan messenger) – Effie also volunteers with the charity Chicuchas Wasi, helping girls in extreme poverty. You described him as a 'great ambassador for Peru who wants nothing for himself' and someone who communicates through 'humour, smiles and hugs'."
