My name is Andrés Gabriel Pecchi Cèdres, and I am an Italian-Argentine, French-Argentine, and Portuguese-Argentine tour guide and historian, born in the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, Argentina. I have held the professional title of tour guide and historian since 2006, and I specialize in the following types of tourism: historical and cultural tourism, heritage tourism, ecotourism or nature tourism, gastronomic tourism, and wine tourism. My tour guide and historian company is called Latin Celtic Traditions, and since October 28, 2024, it has been registered in my name and is authorized by the BPS (Social Security Bank) and the DGI (General Directorate of Taxation) of Uruguay. My company's registration number is: 0000008687326. My free tours and private tours are conducted in the Latin languages Spanish, Italian, French, and Portuguese, and in the Germanic language English. They specialize in the nature, historical, and cultural heritage of the Latin American populations of Argentina, Uruguay, and Brazil, who are descendants of the European Latin populations of Italy, France, Spain, and Portugal, and of the European populations of Britain and Ireland. Within these populations are the current ethnic Celtic Latin populations of Friulian-Venetian Julian, Lombard, Piedmontese, French, Asturian, Galician, and Portuguese, and the current ethnic Celtic populations of Wales, Scotland, and Ireland. My surname Pecchi belongs to the current Italian Lombard Celtic Latin ethnic population, my surname Cèdres belongs to the current French Celtic Latin ethnic population, and the surname Lopes of my ancestors belongs to the current Portuguese Celtic Latin ethnic population.

Tour description

My tour is a scenic experience that integrates knowledge about geography, flora, and fauna, as well as the foundation and historical development of the city up to the present day. It also addresses the historical and cultural heritage of a part of the Uruguayan Latin American population, descendants of European Latin populations (Italian, French, Spanish, and Portuguese) and British and Irish European populations that settled both in the Prado neighborhood and the rest of the city, giving rise to the regional folkloric cultural identity.

The majority of this part of the Uruguayan Latin American population today belongs to ethnic Celtic Latin populations such as Friulian-Venetian Julian, Lombard, Piedmontese, French, Asturian, Galician, and Portuguese, as well as to ethnic Celtic Scottish and Irish populations.
