Ever since Reddy Guaygua was a boy, he dreamt of discovering hidden ruins.
Born in Mapiri, 130km (80 miles) north of La Paz in Bolivia, he was the only person from his small town to study archaeology. "My goal was to work in the villages, visit their archaeological sites and work in them," he says.
Now, years later, his dream has become reality. Mr Guaygua is in charge of tourism and culture in the town of Tiquina.
Tiquina lies on the shore of Lake Titicaca, which covers more than 8,500 sq km (3,300 sq miles) and creates a natural border between Peru and Bolivia. It was just five minutes from here that the submerged remains of an ancient civilisation was found 10 years ago.
