A splendid magazine and a brave enterprise. What I thank you for most is bringing so much of my own Peru closer. A wonderful country needs a wonderful magazine. And you're doing it.

De nada, compadrito.


Just looked through Rumbos Online -very well done. I guess your next step is to get linked to lots of related sites: it seems that's the way most people find interesting websites.
Concerning the editorial: I hadn't heard anything about your supposed demise, but that sort of thing doesn't surprise me. I'm also pleased to see a little irreverent commentary -it's important not only to show Peru's glories but also discuss the threats they are facing.
Best regards,
Jim Bartle/photographer and editor

Compré RUMBOS por primera vez y me agradó mucho, pero el editorial de su última edición me pareció innecesariamente agresivo. Todo está muy bonito, pero ahórrense los dardos, Basta de violencia gratuita, señores.

¿Violencia gratuita?, ¿no tuvo usted que pagar por ella?


I liked your editorial very much. Many Peruvians suffer from "polite" hypocrisy, which is a form of stunted personality development. My uncle, a Peruvian inventor, says that when it comes to money, everyone is a gangster. Yet, I do not think Peruvians are any worse than other people. Good journalistic writing should be thought-provoking though.

You are too polite. Sometimes it's necessary to tell it like it is. We agree 100% with your last comment though.

Es hermoso cultivar el amor por nuestro país. Pero más lindo es que produzca frutos. Que empiece la cosecha.

Como diría la abuelita: no chorrea, pero gotea. Gracias por su apoyo, querida (¿o querido?) Kheel.


Considerando que su Númeroestá dirigida, mayoritariamente, a los turistas, sugiero que se cree una nueva página para que -vía fax, correo o internet- los turistas podamos contarle a los lectores de RUMBOS nuestras mejores anécdotas sobre....írobos! Sonará insólito, pero creo que una de las cosas más increíbles que he visto en este país es la escalofriante variedad de modalidades con que se asalta a los turistas.

Genial. ¿Por qué no inaugura usted la sección? Podríamos llamarla "El rincón del asaltado" o "Cuéntame tu robo". Nuestro director, por ejemplo, tiene una amplia y reconocida trayectoria en el asunto. Y -cuidadito- porque ya ha comenzado a escribir su libro. Rodarán cabezas.


As a traveler still struggling with spanish. I appreciate the english translations, as well as the solid advice offered in the articles. Next time I will remember to bring sun block for the Inca Trail! Keep up the good work. The magazine is gorgeous and a certain inspiration to come back to Peru again and again.

Muito obrigado.?
