Ricardo Valderrama Fernández (3 April 1945 – 30 August 2020) was a Peruvian
Indigenous peoples of the Andes region surrounding Cusco. In 1977, he released his first book, "Gregorio Condori Mamani: An Autobiography", co-authored with his wife, anthropologist Carmen Escalante. Their book, which has been translated into seven languages, is considered a landmark in the field of Peruvian anthropology, as it focused on modern-day individuals within the lower classes of society.[1][2]
Valderrama became Mayor of Cusco Province in December 2019, following the resignation of his predecessor, Víctor Boluarte Medina. Valderrama oversaw the provincial response to the COVID-19 pandemic in Cusco Province during the COVID-19 pandemic in Peru, which includes the city of Cusco, until his death in office from the virus in August 2020.[1]
