Who we are

Welcome Aboard!

In 2007, driven by a shared passion for adventure and cultural immersion, Jon and Mel embarked on an extraordinary journey to uncover the country's hidden gems, immersing themselves in the rich tapestry of cultures and ecosystems that define Ecuador's unique character.

Nestled in the captivating highlands of the Andean region and surrounded by breathtaking scenery, our inspiration was fueled by a vision to redefine and enhance tourists' perception of traveling throughout this incredible country. We focused on creating bespoke tours with an immersive experience for all who embark on this journey with us.
