My name is Napoleón Arcondo. I live in Cusco and I write about what I’m passionate about: Peruvian history, education, and the reality of our country.
My work involves conducting in-depth research, verifying facts, and translating complex topics into simple, clear, and useful articles. Whether I’m exploring our cultural heritage or writing practical and informative guides about modern-day Peru, I strive to ensure that every piece is well-researched and addresses what people really need to know. I write from Cusco with the goal of sharing well-researched knowledge with readers across the country.
