Juan a través del tiempo nos ha demostrado ser un hombre íntegro, sencillo, humano, servicial, humilde, firme, flexible y cariñoso. Con esa firmeza y flexibilidad, propia de Machu Picchu y de su entorno, su sonrisa abría el camino para resolver difíciles conflictos aun personales. Nunca le interesó el poder y cuando lo detentó, lo ha hecho con maestría genuina e inigualable.
