What started as a love for travel and adventure turned into a full-time career helping others explore one of the most diverse and beautiful countries in the world.

“Our trip to Ecuador”
Discover Ecuador - nature, people, history, culinary delights. We have an amazing vacation in Ecuador with our guide Gustavo. Our trip included a bird watching in Mindo forest and Antisana national park, their beauty of flora and fauna, the trip to Cotopaxi volcano and Quilotoa lake, the waterfalls around Banos , Quito, its museums and Casa Guayasamin, Middle of the World. Gustavo was very helpful and patient throughout the journey and from the first day he made us fell comfortable and welcome. He always took the time to answer our questions, explain local traditions, and point out interesting details we might have otherwise missed. His deep knowledge of Ecuator’s history, nature and culture made our trip very interesting. He always made sure everyone was included, safe and having a great time. Thanks to Gustavo our trip in Ecuator was unforgettable. We would like highly recommend Gustavo to anyone planning a trip to Ecuador.
