Meet Karolina Guilcapi

Yampu's General Sales Manager has spent 11 years turning travelers' dreams into journeys across Latin America.

From Warsaw to the World

Karolina was born in Warsaw, Poland, and emigrated to Brooklyn, New York at a young age. This trans-Atlantic crossing sparked a lifelong hunger to explore. She graduated with honors and a degree in International Hotel and Tourism Management from Johnson & Wales University in Rhode Island. An ecotourism program in Guatemala solidified her desire to work in travel, and she has been managing Yampu's Sales Team ever since—now over a decade of helping travelers find their way to Peru's most extraordinary places.

The Karolina Way

Eleven years of turning travel dreams into reality, one family at a time.
The Karolina Way

Supermom in Motion

By day, Karolina manages the sales team. By night, she manages her household—two children, three pets, and a Girl Scout Troop. Time management and staying organized come naturally to her, and they're the main factor in her success across the board.

Travel as Family

When family gets in the way of a work trip, she brings them along. First birthday in Machu Picchu. Father's Day in Mexico City. Spring break in the Uyuni salt flats. Her husband and children have been her travel companions since day one.

Kids Are Amazing Travelers

Her children inspire her to push harder at work. They are the reason she specializes in family travel here at Yampu. She believes kids don't slow you down—they open doors you didn't know existed.

What Drives Karolina

The passions and pursuits that shape her approach to travel and life.

  • Books and the HousingWorks Bookstore

  • All the best people are entirely bonkers

  • Flea markets and weekend treasure hunts

  • Every trail, even Lake Okeechobee

Food Is How She Travels

Coming from Poland, where pickled feet and meat-flavored gelatin are kitchen staples, Karolina's palate is fearless. She rearranges entire trip itineraries around a single culinary discovery—a cooking class in Oaxaca, a crowded market thick with spices, the taste of ocean in freshly caught seafood. She feels happiest eating al fresco, and on a recent trip to Oaxaca, she dove into spicy crickets with gusto, picking tiny legs from between her teeth for days afterward. For Karolina, travel isn't about checking boxes. It's about tasting the place.
