Who we are
A life, one passion!
The concept of this agency is born of a simple observation and a passion:
«Going to Latin America is not always easy when you have not heard much about a country that may seem new and / or different.»
I am of Ecuadorian origin, living in Switzerland for 34 years. I also lived in Cuba, Belgium and Canada. I learned about cultural differences in Europe and other countries and I realized that I would like to share my passion for the cultural richness, the climate, the vegetation, the wildlife and the generosity of the people of my country of origin and other points of interest like discovering Galapagos Islands with people of many other parts of the world
I studied economics, control and finance and completed an MBA in international management. I worked for Swiss and international groups and companies. My profession led me to travel a lot and I always felt that a holiday trip or a special event should be done in a relaxed and carefree way. Hence my desire to organize and create dream trips in my country of origin ECUADOR.
I like the mountain, the hiking, the races. I participate with pleasure in long walks in Europe and in Ecuador and I do a marathon every year.
Here images of the situation of the ECUADOR, it is a small country, but it is almost 5 times Switzerland, almost half of France, is crossed by the equatorial line.
He has kept intact his sense of welcome, his traditions, his culture, his wealth. We are proud of our Indian origin Shyris and Inca.
And we are one of the only countries in the world that can be called the country of the "4 worlds":
Amazonia,
Costa,
Sierra (volcanoes) ,
and the Enchanted Islands of Galapagos
My concept
Traveling with us is to give our clients the certainty that we will take into account their tastes, needs, interests, wishes to life habits, so that, from the beginning, is fully supported and understood, our main concern is your comfort, well-being and tranquillity.
For example, if you are allergic, you need a large bed, cannot stand lactose, does not like avocado, etc. You will not have to deal with those details during the trip, everything will have been planned in advance. When you are on a trip, there is nothing more annoying than having to deal with everything that the intermediaries forgot or did not communicate.
We take care of air tickets, all reservations, hotels, all meals, tickets to different museums and parks of interest.
In general, and for obvious reasons, we do not include tips, alcoholic beverages, special taxes for thoe who wish to travel to Galapagos. There is no bad surprise because the rates will have been communicated and detailed in advance.
And, of course, each trip has a price adapted to your needs: bicycle rental, climbing equipment, single room, etc.
You will be informed about vaccines, administrative issues, the living of an Ecuadorian, the customs of the country, if there is inconvenience depending on the places visited, habits and customs, as well as the differences of each village or market visited.
You will not be obliged to follow all the activities of a group because we know that interests may vary: 3 hours in a museum? 2 hours of walking? The trip is adapted ... and if on the way we have the pleasant surprise of having a typical parade or an exceptional market or village festival, we have the flexibility to change the itinerary a bit, according to the needs and desires of the group.
THAT IS MY DIFFERENCE, in addition and to encourage exchanges I try to organize a meeting with the group BEFORE the trip to meet us, communicate the itinerary, answer all your questions, make the changes according to your wishes, each one tells me his own needs and if there are important changes to set the final rate.
I accompany my clients from the departure date until the return and I am present when they need it or to ensure the good development of the trip. To make the trips I go with a team of 2 or 4 people according to the number of clients.
My experts in Ecuador are:
- A large network of professional guides who speak French, English, German and Spanish.
- A network of professional drivers, between them, professional drivers, English-speaking, mountain experts, and guiwho knows how to find small wonders for travellers who do not seek a tourist trip but seek to immerse themselves in the daily life of an Ecuadorian.
Washington knows of small markets lost in the middle of nature, will know how to show you and make you taste an unknown fruit, or will show us the oldest craftsman of a town or community, known only to the locals.
We take care of the trip, once your itinerary and needs are defined, your only concern is to prepare your suitcases to realize your dreams.
