- Q: What is one thing that any visitor to Ecuador should do?
- A: Visit Cotopaxi, the highest active volcano in the country. Also, Banos de Agua Santa is a great town with the iconic Swing to the End of the World.
- Q: What has been your most unforgettable moment while guiding?
- A: Once with a group, we were trekking in the mountains when an Andean condor flew right over us. It was amazing. It was so close that we were able to get some incredible photos. I will never forget it.
- Q: What is one local dish or drink that visitors absolutely have to try?
- A: They have to try the potato soup (locro) because it’s a traditional dish that comes with a great story. I can’t spoil the story, but it’s a must.
