Alvaro helped me and my husband plan our honeymoon trip to Ecuador and it was amazing! Our guides were very kind and knowledgeable. We learned not only about the area and history, but also about current events and daily life. We got to see beautiful mountains, the Amazon, artistic murals, and historical landmarks. The food was delicious and healthy. In the Galapagos we learned about wildlife and had many up close experiences with the animals. We felt very welcomed everywhere we went, and we can’t wait to come back for another adventure in Ecuador!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about the tortoises and lizards she wad telling us about! She was really fun to talk to and took pictures for us. There were so many tortoises when we went and we learned a lot.

She was fun to talk to and very passionate! I loved that she was ready to reinforce the rules of the Galapagos to anyone and protect the area. She clearly loves where she lives and works and she was a really great guide.
