“We saw everything! ”
Gustavo is an excellent guide. He asked us about our interests and planned the day around those. We got to see the cloud forest from the cable car, we saw an orchid farm, hummingbirds, how chocolate is made and had a nice local lunch. He is very knowledgeable on the history and all of the animals. We absolutely recommend him !

My family and I had a wonderful day with Gustavo (Gus). He worked with us to plan a perfect day traveling around Otavalo, Cotacachi, Cuicocha Cotacachi Cayapas, and Pegucha volcano waterfalls. His English is excellent and he shared an extensive amount of culture, history, geography, and current events with us on his beautiful country. His driving is great and he was very flexible and personable. We highly recommend Gus to anyone looking to learn about and enjoy Ecuador.
