Jesús, son of paths

Jesus was born in Navarra (Country Bask, Spain). In 1980, he leaved his job of engineer in a car factory and started to travel and work as a freelance journalist.

From 1980 to 1998, he caried out countless journeys all over America's continent. He travelled by foot, bike, canoe ... always with the same objective in mind: "Folow the footprints of time, men and history".

In 1998, he decided to hang his boots and bagpack to settle down in the little village of
Puerto Bermudez
(peruvian amazony).

This determination made him write several books about Southamerica, journalistic chronicles, documentaries and TV shows.
