María Belén Villacrés
I believe that travel should bring spiritual and cultural knowledge to travelers. When we travel, we learn a lot and grow through our lived experiences. In the same way, the impact we should leave on each of the places we visit should also be positive, it is a give-and-take that makes the trip unforgettable.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I really like doing outdoor activities, trekking and mountaineering are my passion. For this reason, creating itineraries that combine nature with well-being is my greatest strength.
I am passionate about visits to unique places that are related to the conservation of both nature and customs."
How did you get involved in travel?
"From a very young age, I had the opportunity to travel alone inside and outside Ecuador and those experiences led me to become interested in the world of tourism.
When I settled in my own country, I decided that I would like the world to know the wonders that we have here. Ecuador is a small country and often unknown to most of the world, that's why I'm interested in each of the visitors taking a little bit of the country in their heart and through their experiences other people want to visit us.
"
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"Without a doubt, the trip that marked me the most was my first visit to the Galapagos. Human beings are used to seeing animals and they instinctively recoil before our presence.
However, in Galapagos, the animals do not feel that humans are their natural predators, on the contrary, they approach with such naturalness that they make the human part of their environment.
