Hello! I’m Mauro, born and raised in the beautiful city of Quito. To me, being a tour guide is more than just a job; it’s about welcoming new friends and helping them unravel the soul of my country. Whether it's through our architecture, the flavors of our traditional food, the magic of our legends, or the intricate history, I’ll help you understand the 'why' behind our vibrant culture. With a background in Ecotourism Engineering and a Master’s in Cultural and Natural heritage Management, I combine 8 years of professional experience with a deep love for sharing knowledge. I specialize in soft adventures and off-the-beaten-path experiences for small groups. My goal is simple: show you the iconic highlights you can't miss in Quito or the surrounding areas, but also the hidden gems that we locals cherish with a touch of adventure. Let's step away from the crowds and discover the authentic Ecuador together.
