Born in Cusco, Ruben has been following the shamanic path since the age of nine. His career as an archaeologist culminated with being named Head of Archaeology at Machu Picchu, where he discovered forty-four new sites surrounding the Crystal City, including the North Inca Trail. For these discoveries, he was on the cover of Time Magazine in South America. He has done extensive research into the mystical aspects of many significant sites and uncovered the true use of many temples in the empire.
