My name is Ronald Wilhelm. I speak Spanish, English, and French. I'm passionate about history and archaeology and have over 30 years of experience working in museums. I descended into the enigmatic Cueva de los Tayos and lived with the Shuar Tribe, human head shrinkers from the Yuqui-antza region, in the middle of the jungle. My goal is for every visitor to have a unique and unforgettable experience in the beautiful city of Cuenca, combining history, archaeology, ethnography, ufology, legends, and mythologies in a single tour. We will visit one of the oldest churches in Cuenca, and talk about the founding of the city in the 16th century, we will explore the in-situ archaeological remains in the Agustín Landívar museums and we will talk and show archaeological pieces from the Paleolithic period to the Incas and the arrival of the Spanish Europeans in the 16th century, we will also address ethnology, giving a detailed explanation of the tribes of the mountains and eastern Ecuador, especially the Shuar, feared shrinkers of human heads in the Pumapungo Museum, and finally we will walk to La Calle de las Herrerías, a colonial site par excellence, where the so-called Herrería del Rey operated since the 16th century. Don't miss the opportunity to join me on "Among Hidden Treasures and Ancestral Mysteries," where we'll talk about hidden treasures that, even in the 21st century, are still sought after by explorers, speleologists, and mystics. A tour where you'll learn everything there is to know about the city, the country, and more.
