PABLO REA

Ecuadorian born, but a true citizen of the world. I lived in the United States for 4 years, in Peru for 5 months, in Galapagos for 2 months. I have traveled extensively from a very young age. Bachelor´s Degree in Business Management and a former Tourist Guide in Ecuador. I have worked in the Tourist and Hospitality industry for over 14 years. I customize truly bespoke luxury travel experiences, from a family of 30 members who wished to rent their own luxury boat in the Galapagos with a personal chef and unique visits to a couple who wanted to celebrate their honeymoon in Machu Picchu with a ceremony in the citadel. Everything I do is designed to enhance your private experience by delving deeper into your passions and interests, each itinerary is by definition, “unique”.

SOFIA VALDIVIESO

I love the feeling of discovering and learning. Travelling enables you to explore and acquire new sights and knowledge; and especially open your mind and senses to other cultures and customs. Every time I come back from a new place, I feel the urge to share my experiences and information, thus inviting others to also embark in the adventure. Now I can do exactly this, every day at work! I am here to help dreams come true in several unique sites, fully prepared with the right information and having experienced all by myself.
