Hi, I’m Wilson Javier—a proud Cuenca native and a passionate, fully licensed tour guide in Ecuador. Born and raised in one of the country’s most beautiful cities, I’ve always had a deep love for travel and connecting with people from around the world. After studying Tourism and Hospitality Management, I embarked on a transformative year in Belgium, exploring Europe and gaining a profound appreciation for different cultures. That journey solidified my passion for sharing Ecuador’s unparalleled beauty and diversity with others. Since returning home, I’ve dedicated myself to guiding and earning credentials as a National Tour Guide and Tour Operator. I’ve explored almost every corner of Ecuador, and my experience spans all five continents through the amazing travelers I’ve had the privilege to meet. Whether it’s hiking majestic mountains, uncovering hidden gems in local markets, or delving into the history of Ecuador’s remarkable landmarks, being a guide feels like my true calling. I’m committed to making your visit unforgettable by showcasing the stunning landscapes, rich culture, and vibrant contrasts of my country. I can also arrange transportation for any group size and provide personalized advice on activities, accommodations, and more. If you have specific requests, I’m happy to customize your tour to meet your needs.

Explore the most important Inca site in Ecuador and two craft-making villages
Overview of your Cuenca tour
Highlights: - Visit the largest archaeological Inca site in Ecuador and the only elliptical temple of the Inca empire - Enjoy the beauty of the Ecuadorian Andes while you drive through the fertile ranch land of the countryside. - Explore the Gualaceo and Chordeleg craft-making villages For travelers with limited time, I combine two of the most significant attractions in Cuenca: First, the most important Inca-Cañari archaeological site in Ecuador, and later, two artisan villages where crafts such as ikat weavings, fine filigree jewelry and more are made.
Your Cuenca tour itinerary
This is the perfect option for people with limited time, combining two tours into one: Ingapirca and the artisan villages of Gualaceo and Chordeleg. We start our tour with a ride through the enchanting highlands, enjoying amazing views along the way. We arrive at Ingapirca which is Ecuador's major Inca archaeological site. Sun worshippers built this fortress-temple in Cañar valley. It is located approximately 60 miles northeast of Cuenca at 10, 500 feet above sea level. We continue our tour to Gualaceo and Chordeleg, two charming villages famous for handicrafts. We will visit a workshop where artisans produce the finest silver filigree in Ecuador. There will be time for shopping or simply admiring the interesting atmosphere of the town. Our final stop will be at a local family's workshop where we'll see the process of weaving shawls and ponchos on antique looms, using dyes extracted from plants. At the end of this full-day tour, you will be returned to your hotel.
