Both the adventurous and the slow-paced travelers. I love tailor-made trips to the Galapagos Islands and the Amazon, as well as trekking or climbing tours in the Andes.
What is one of your favorite experiences which you’ve been able to build for guests?
A couple celebrating their honeymoon who were uncertain about water activities for their trip. After a few days in the Amazon, they went to the Galapagos, where I encouraged them to try snorkeling for the first time. They left more than fascinated.
Share the one travel experience that you will never forget
I spent a week in the deep jungle in Arajuno. I crossed the river, a two-hour walk soaked in water, admiring the tall trees and the monkeys jumping. I first-hand experienced the day-to-day activities of the Amazon kichwa community.
