ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Aviel Haim—also known as Alvaro—and I’m here to be your personal travel planner and coach.
I have explored all 24 regions of Peru and 34 countries worldwide. I studied tourism management in both Peru and Australia and bring over 20 years of experience in the tourism industry.
As a tourism professional and certified travel coach, I’ve had the privilege of helping many travelers discover Peru in an authentic and intelligent way (The Smart Way).
When visiting Peru, many travelers feel overwhelmed by the endless sea of options they find online or through traditional travel agencies. As a result, they often make
decisions based on trends or biased advice, only to realize too late that there was a more personalized and meaningful way to organize their trip—one that truly aligns with their needs, interests, and goals.

It all started with an inner search…
Here’s why I do what I do ✈️
While working as a traditional travel agent, I realized that many of the services offered were geared towards mass tourism and didn’t always meet the needs of those seeking authentic and meaningful experiences. I felt frustrated that I couldn’t offer the local, off-the-beaten-path options that truly resonated with my clients’ personal interests.
That’s when I decided to pivot and start working as an independent travel planner. This allowed me not only to provide standard travel services but also to offer personalized local experiences that, for various reasons, are often unavailable through conventional agencies. Although I saw a significant boost in my clients’ satisfaction, something inside me told me there was still more to be done.
In 2018, after reflecting on my own travels, I realized I wasn’t actually enjoying them as much as I expected. I used to plan my trips by following “must-see” lists and others’ recommendations, without stopping to think if those places truly connected with me, my interests, my travel style, or what actually made me happy.
It was then that I understood I needed to do some inner work to discover what I was deeply looking for through every journey. That is how I began to plan my trips differently, incorporating an inner journey: one that invites us to heal, reconnect, grow, and transform, bringing us closer to our goals and our best selves.When I changed the way I traveled and started doing so with a personal purpose—aligning each trip with what truly mattered (and what, unknowingly, I also needed)—I discovered a completely new way to enjoy my journeys. That transformation motivated me to go one step further, which is why I decided to become a certified Travel Coach. I wanted to integrate my experience as a traveler, my professional background, my career path, and this new certification to help people like you enjoy your travel experiences more, turning them into a real opportunity for well-being and personal growth.
