I am a National Guide of Ecuador, I live in Quito, I have been doing this activity for 15 years and I have traveled throughout Ecuador. I dedicate myself 100% to this activity; I have extensive knowledge of the country's tourist places, including the Galapagos Islands. Which allows me to have contacts throughout the provinces. A place that I especially love is the Puyo jungle, a place located 4'30 hours from Quito, and which I recommend visiting to those people who want to get to know the jungle and do not have much time to do so.
