Support Our Ongoing Research Projects

Our Team of Experts

Hidden Inca Tours is not simply a company with an owner and employees, in fact, it is not a company at all. It is an idea and a philosophy that pools the knowledge and resources of as many people as possible, especially Peruvians, together as a cohesive and expansive group. Our goal is to share what we know with visitors from all walks of life in order to assist them in their mental, physical and spiritual growth so that when they return to their home country, they are changed for the better. And with that change can help others to do the same should they wish…

Sr. Juan Navarro is our expert, and in fact THE expert, of the Paracas, Nazca, Inca, Chincha and Wari people who lived on the coast of Peru, especially in the Paracas/Nazca area. His 50 years of studious work in this area makes him the crowning jewel in our team. Tours with him include the ancient Paracas grave yards, adobe pyramids and little known Inca sites.

Hector

Hector

Hector is a native of Cusco and grew up with Sachsayhuaman as his playground! He is a very gifted indigenous healer and Quechua (also known as Runa simi) is his first language. He studied for several years with Inca elders and is a world authority on Inca history, spirituality, and architecture. Hector is also available for ceremonies, including despachos, which are offerings given to Mother Earth, spiritual cleansing, and guided meditation. He was also schooled in very esoteric teachings in the jungles of Peru, from the descendants of the Inca High Priests who fled Cusco at the time of the Spanish Conquest.

A brilliant photographer, she is in charge of coordinating all of our tours, and is our media representative, as well as the one who opens any doors, be they governmental or local, which are closed off to outsiders. She, along with the above team members, make this a truly heart felt Peruvian operation.

Jesus Merello

Jesus Merello has lived in Cuzco for 30 years where he has been a cultural guide and ayahuasca practitioner. He worked for the company Etnikas for many years as their chief tour guide to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley, but now, thankfully for us, is a member of our team. Jesus, along with Hector and Jesus Gamarra, are the absolute best guides and wisdom keepers in Cusco; few can come even close to matching their knowledge, wisdom, humility, and sense of fun.

Brien Foerster

Brien Foerster


A man is not rich as the result of the size of his bank balance, but because of those people that he surrounds himself with…

And that is me, Brien Foerster, sort of the “head honcho” of the group. I am involved in all aspects of the operations, not that I know everything, but love this company and all aspects of the culture, history and people of this area. This is not a job for me per se, but a learning and sharing adventure. Come along with us, you will not be a spectator, but a participant in amazing journeys of the mind, body, heart and soul of the Inca world…

Brien’s Bio

Brien was born in Rochester, Minnesota, U.S.A. but grew up on the west coast of Canada. At age 11, he became fascinated with the Native art of the Haida native people, and began carving totem poles, and other related art forms, learning from Native teachers. After completing an Honours Bachelor Of Science degree, Brien decided to take up carving and sculpture full time, at the age of 25.

In 1995 he moved to Maui, Hawaii, and was hired as assistant project manager for the building of the 62 foot double hull sailing canoe ( ancestor of the modern day catamaran ) Mo’okiha O Pi’ilani ( Sacred Lizard That Pierces The Heavens ) and the restoration of the famous Mo’olele sailing canoe. This project lasted 2 years.

There, having learned how to make Hawaiian outrigger canoe paddles from master carver Keola Sequiera, he started an online outrigger paddle business, which flourished internationally.

Peru became his next major area of interest. The study of the Inca culture led to his writing a book, A Brief History Of The Incas which is available on this site, and is now the assistant director of the Paracas History Museum in Paracas, south of Lima. He is also assisting the municipality of Paracas to improve the number of foreign tourists that visit, as well as is fundamental in expanding tourism in general, especially as regards showing all visitors the 10,000 years of human occupation of this area, through tours of major and minor archaeological sites.

Other projects, which will result in published books, include one about the ancient history of Hawaii, the mysterious stone monuments of Peru that predate the Inca, and the search for the lost continent of Mu. This will require combining all that he has learned so far, with trips to New Zealand (Aotearoa), Hawaii, and Easter island (Rapanui.)

He is the author of 8 books, 4 appearances on Ancient Aliens, season 3, numerous radio interviews, and resides in Peru with his wife.

Chris Dunn

Chris Dunn

Chris’s pyramid odyssey began in 1977 after he read Peter Tompkins’ book Secrets of the Great Pyramid. His immediate reaction after learning of the Great Pyramid’s precision and design characteristics was to consider that this edifice may have had an original purpose that differed from conventional opinion. After further research and study of source material on various theories, Chris concluded that it must have originally been built to provide a highly technical society with energy—in short, it was a very large machine. Discovering the purpose of this machine and documenting his case has taken the better part of twenty years of research and following the 1998 publication of Chris’s book, “The Giza Power Plant: Technologies of Ancient Egypt” which describes a holistic energy device that is harmonically coupled with the Earth and its inhabitants.
