Ariel Chasi
Born and raised in Quito, I’ve always had a deep love for my country and for travel. Traveling around Ecuador and living near the historic center of Quito have shaped my appreciation for nature, culture, and history. These experiences have inspired me to share the richness of Ecuador with others. I enjoy helping travelers create memorable trips and make the most of their time exploring this beautiful destination.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I craft personalized trips for all types of travelers, whether it’s exploring the Andes with its breathtaking mountains, volcanoes, vibrant culture, and historic cities; discovering the magic of the Galápagos Islands with their stunning landscapes and unique wildlife; or venturing into the Amazon rainforest to experience its incredible biodiversity. I'm willing to show you the best of Ecuador."
How did you get involved in travel?
"Since I was a little kid, I’ve traveled throughout Ecuador with my family, exploring its diverse landscapes, cultures, and natural wonders. These experiences deeply shaped the way I see my country and sparked my interest in traveling. That’s why I later decided to study Ecological Tourism at university, to contribute to the development of this industry and to be better prepared to offer meaningful experiences to travelers."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I’ve had many special travel experiences in my life, but one I will never forget is exploring the Cuyabeno Wildlife Reserve in the Amazon rainforest. During a boat ride, I had the rare opportunity to see a group of pink dolphins swimming in the river. I felt incredibly lucky and grateful to witness these unique animals. It’s an experience that has stayed with me, and I’m always eager to return there one day."
