Hello. I'm Ariel, your local expert for Ecuador
Born and raised in Quito, I’ve always loved my country and traveling. Exploring Ecuador and living near Quito’s historic center have deepened my appreciation for nature, culture, and history. These experiences motivate me to share Ecuador’s richness with others. I enjoy helping travelers craft memorable trips and make the most of their time exploring this beautiful place.

“Rough Guides did a terrific job planning and coordinating our tour of the Galapagos Islands. We were assisted every step of the way by our local tour coordinators who ensured that we got from our hotel to every excursion meeting point on time and without a hassle. The local Galapagos Park guides were excellent, incredibly knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. It is hard to believe how close you can be to the fantastic giant tortoises, blue footed boobies, sea lions, iguanas, finches, mockingbirds and other wildlife too numerous to mention. Highly recommend Rough Guides.”
