Lucia Cazar
I started to travel, camp, and go on excursions (especially in natural environments) when I was 10 years old - since then I have never stopped. Before I started my studies in Tourism and Hospitality I realized that traveling was something that enriched my soul and filled me with great memories that later I would love to share with more people from all over the world.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I specialize in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands, the country where I grew up. Ecuador is a biodiverse country, and the activities that can be carried out are varied such as cultural, adventure, and community tourism, "Ecuador has everything in one place", due to its short distances between one region to another, it can be on the Ecuadorian coast and immediately change to a humid tropical zone as well as to a cold place in the middle of volcanoes."
How did you get involved in travel?
"I started traveling when I was a child, then I decided to study Tourism and Hospitality at a university here in Ecuador, then I had the opportunity to travel around Ecuador to its 4 regions as Highlands, Cost, the Ecuadorian Amazon, and the enchanted Galápagos Islands. Since then, my wish has been that people from around the world can discover the wonders of Ecuador, and enrich themselves with the landscapes, biodiversity, culture, and the Enchanted Galapagos Islands, and its unique marine species."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"An experience that I will never forget is when I was able to travel to other countries and I was able to talk about my own country and realize that we have everything here, wonderful tourist places to be shown to the world. I have also been able to travel to other countries to learn about their culture, I have always thought that the best way to exchange cultural experiences has been to meet people who are passionate about their country and to be able to share ideas from one country to another."

the kimkim www site provided a good way to coordinate the planning of the trip among the 6 people in our party.
Drivers and Guides all showed up as planned. Big shout out to our guide Danny (of responsible travel) as he was a wealth of knowledge on the history and culture of Ecuador. Our guide, Miguel, at Husaquila Lodge in Amazon was excellent. Our driver Segundo was excellent.
Great excursions around Banos. Great hike to base camp on Cotopaxi.
All hotels/accommodations were comfortable and helpful.

I am very happy you liked our selection of guides, and the tailor-made itinerary, that was made specially for you, I will extend your review with them. I hope you enjoyed our beautiful country Ecuador.

All three of our guides (and Sabastian's father, Alejandro) services were above and beyond any expectation I had. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable about their, country, politics, the flora and fauna, and as an added bonus, where entertaining with fantastic personalities.
Sabastian and Sergio were especially memorable due to the incredible places they took us and their knowledge, and personalities. read more

We have spent very nice and rather intensive holidays in Yasuni Natonal Park (by plane and boat), Quito-Mindo-Otovalu-Cotacachi (by car), Galapagos - San Cristobal-Santa Cruz-Isabela (by boat staying/sleeping on 3 islands)
Our experience was very good and I will recommend this type of trip to Ecuador to all people who are limited on time and have no time to plan/manage everything personally. It is possible that you can do it cheaper but you need to have a lot on information and do it long... read more

Thank you for leaving your feedbackt. We were able to solve the problem in Mindo in time because our guide told us what happened immediately and we were able to back up via phone and talk to the owner of the establishment so that they could recover the cell phone. We did it!
I am glad to hear that you had a great time in our country, all comments are read and taken as an opportunity to continue providing a quality service.
It was nice to have talked to you in person and to have you share with me first hand all the comments.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable trip. The activities, Mountain Bike riding, zip lining, hiking up the Cotopaxi Volcano and rafting were so much fun. Our guide was exceptional, very knowledgeable about his country, the various fauna and birds. Our unplanned visit to a chocolate factory was excellent. Christian Chalcualan made the trip for us. Nothing was too much trouble for him. The owner of the biking tour Eric, our Cotopaxi guide Luis and Ronnie the rafting and Kayaker were all top notch... read more

May 27 - Jun 2, 2023

We had a wonderful time on our trip to the Galapagos Islands and Quito. Our guide in Quito, Sebastian, was a great guide and such a nice young man. he was waiting at the luggage area with a sign and explained very clearly everything we would do and when we would be picked up in Quito. We also thought Astrid on Santa Cruz did a nice job.
There was some disconnect on how we were to meet our guides or tour buses (boats) each day. Telling us to stand outside our hotel at 8:00 a.m. and someone... read more

We had a transition from Daniel to Lucia around November. So will start off to say that Daniel was AMAZING. Lucia was really good as well - very friendly and responsive. Also we had a fantastic trip, so that’s the most important part. Ecuador is beautiful and we enjoyed each day immensely!
What could have bumped both ratings to five stars:
- we could have benefited from more attention to detail. For example our Sierra Negra hike was 10 miles, which we didn’t know about until the morning... read more

Daniel and Lucia at KimKim helped to plan our trip to Ecuador - listening to our needs and wants then catering the trip to our wishlist. The initial trip was planned for March 2020 and was delayed due to Covid. Finally, when we were ready- Kimkim helped to make this trip a reality. We visited Quito, Cotopaxi, and the Galápagos Islands. Their efforts allowed us to relax and enjoy all of the beauty of Ecuador- including fantastic active excursions (hiking Sierra Negra, Volcán Cotopaxi;... read more
