José R.
Hello I'm José. Welcome to Ecuador! Would you like to discover my country with a driver/guide (4×4 vehicle). I studied Tourism at universities of different countries in Europe and South America and have more than 25 years of experience in guiding visitors. We can climb together the glacier capped mountains of the Andes, discover the secrets of the tropical rainforest in the Amazon, stroll around in Spanish styled colonial cities, we can visit active volcanoes, trek around crater lakes, interact with indigenous families and immerse to their culture and traditions, relax on sandy beaches or dive with turtles and colorful reef fishes. The opportunities are endless! Due to my activity in tourism I already travelled to more than 50 countries in all 7 continents of the world and this enables me to compare plants or animals we likely will see in Ecuador with them in other parts of the world. The mentality of visitors from Asia is different from the mentality of European guests, North Americans expect other things than travelers from Latin America. If you contact me, I'm sure we will meet just YOUR INTERESTS AND EXPECTATIONS of your holidays in Ecuador! I provide you with a customized itinerary, just for your interests! Ecuador is one of the smallest, but the most diverse country of South America and your starting point Quito, recognized as UNESCO World Heritage Site is the most beautiful capital of Latin America. And the best: All our highlights you can enjoy in driving distance! Why are you waiting? Contact me!

Hi there! I'm a passionate tour guide and explorer with nearly 15 years of experience working on cultural projects, museums, and heritage spaces in Quito and Ecuador. Over the years, I’ve explored mountains, trails, and hidden routes leading to the Coast and the Amazon—by 4x4, bike, public transport, or even on foot! Living in the Central Andes has allowed me to connect deeply with indigenous communities and nature. Besides classic tours like Otavalo, Mitad del Mundo, Quilotoa, Papallacta, Mindo and more I also offer unique journeys with a fresh perspective, taking you beyond the ordinary into stunning, lesser-known landscapes. Traveling is about experiencing, not just visiting.

“Mitad del Mundo and Cloud Forest”
Eliza was a delightful guide. During the booking process we worked together to tailor a day tour that met our expectations. During the drive from Quito to Mital del Mundo (middle of the world) she regaled us with stories of the various neighborhoods - which was needed because traffic in Quito is interesting to say the least. Eliza made sure we had pictures and stories to remember the day by. My wife says it’s the best birthday present I’ve given her!! And the cafe (Los Armadillos) where we had lunch with the hummingbirds was amazing. The food was typical Andean food cooked perfectly. I almost forgot the “side trip” to view the Pululahua volcanic crater (last erupted 2500 years ago). An unexpected bonus
Eliza B.
My dear friends It was a pleasure to show you some of My country and my city . I am glad hearing that you enjoyed that day . The best for you . You are great people Elizabeth
