Mariana Torres is South America Editor at Jetsetter Guide, covering backpacking and off-the-beaten-path travel in the Andes and the Amazon. Based in Cusco, Peru, she is a travel writer and backpacker who specializes in finding the pulse of a place far beyond the tourist maps. She spends half her year navigating the rugged landscapes of the Andes and the hidden corners of the Amazon, fueled by local coffee and a relentless curiosity for "off the beaten path" cultural immersion.
When she isn't scouting remote trails from her base in Cusco, she can be found in Bali, where she balances her high-energy expeditions by running her own boutique yoga studio. Mariana’s writing blends the grit of a seasoned trekker with the mindfulness of a yogi, offering readers a unique perspective on how to travel deeply, sustainably, and soulfully.
