Fiorella was born and raised in Lima, Peru. Travelling was a part of her upbringing and, because of this she began exploring her country at a very early age. In Lima she studied Eco-Tourism Development at Ricardo Palma University and Landscape Photography at Centro de la Imagen.
For four years Fiorella has worked as a tour guide in and around South and Central America. She has organized and led cultural adventure trips for groups of up to fifteen people to places such as Machu Picchu, the Galapagos Islands, Patagonia, and the Pantanal, as well as Iguazu Falls in Brazil and Angel Falls in Venezuela.
In 2008 she migrated to Montreal, Canada, where she developed social service projects in combination with low impact tourism for young Canadian students. She has researched, organized and guided trips that have involved various activities such as helping to save turtles in northern Peru, working with orphanages in Buenos Aires, Argentina, the development of educational programs in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and helping build primary schools in Otavalo, Ecuador.
In 2012 she returned to Lima where she organized several guided tours around Peru for photographers. She also began work as a producer of short films and organized photo shoots for magazines and advertising.
Fiorella, who is unafraid of challenges and is respectful of local cultures, loves to share her expertise and unique insider’s view of Latin America with others.
Fiorella’s professional background make her the perfect addition to the Alyra team where he will be able to share the values of ecology, solidarity and multiculturalism with others through eco-tourism projects.
