The Galápagos, Experienced the way it was meant to be

Where Adventure, Nature, and Meaningful Connection Meet.

First time visiting the Galápagos — or coming back to explore it deeper?

Make this the experience of a lifetime. Travel light. Experience deeply.

I’m Alex, a Galápagos National Park–certified Naturalist Guide, Marine Biologist, and holder of a British Master’s degree in Eco-Tourism and Business Administration, with 30+ years of experience in the Galápagos. I’ve also participated in multiple research studies directed by the Charles Darwin Research Station, working closely with Galápagos wildlife in the field.

I live between the beautiful Galápagos Islands and Cuenca and design private and small-group, eco-friendly tours that respect nature, support local communities, and go far beyond the typical itinerary.

WHY TRAVEL WITH ME?

• Sustainable, low-impact travel

• Wildlife-first experiences

• Your investment supports local families

• Small groups and private tours

• 30+ years of local expertise

• Welcoming, inclusive approach

Whether it’s your first visit or a return journey, I’ll help you experience the Galápagos in a way that truly matters.

Harry needs an Auntie

I thought I would be able to outlive my dog, but as things stand now I’m either not going to or not going to want to. My pain is getting in the way of being able to fully care for him.

Harry, a standard wire-haired dachshund, turned 10 in October. He is still strong of heart and back. He is one of the sweetest Velcro dogs you will ever meet. Sure, he’s spoiled, but barking is not one of his bad habits.

I would like to find someone who would consider co-parenting him now and eventually adopting him for his remaining years.

Let’s talk.

2-BR condo, 8 blocks from El Centro, with one of the best terrace views

This 2-bedroom, El Centro treasure,with a terrace, has some of the city’s most astounding views.

Perched on a hillside just seven blocks from Parque Calderón, this radiant 2-bedroom, 2 bath Cuenca condo brings the heart of the city right to your doorstep—while lifting you just high enough above it all to savor downtown’s splendor in a peaceful residential area. From your expansive terrace, the drama of Cuenca’s historic skyline unfolds before you—the iconic blue domes of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception shimmering by day, glowing under starlight by night. It’s a front-row seat to one of the most beautiful UNESCO World Heritage Site cities in the world—and you’ll never tire of the view.

Inside this 162 square meter (1,744 sq. ft.) home, warm light pours in from two sides, flooding the open-concept space and giving it an inviting, almost ethereal glow. The bamboo floors and exposed brick accents create a cozy yet refined ambiance, while thoughtful upgrades and North American-standard finishes offer modern comfort without compromising charm.

The living room flows effortlessly into a TV station, a tucked-away office nook, and a generous dining space is located right by the kitchen and perfect for entertaining. The chef’s kitchen is equally social, with a sit-at bar that invites guests to sip and chat with the cook, while dinner simmers. The kitchen has granite countertops, ample storage, a 5-burner gas stove, a range hood, an oven, refrigerator and a microwave — all included in the sale’s price. There’s even a built-in bar and extra seating with storage—because this is a home made for gatherings.

The primary bedroom is tucked away down a beautiful brick-lined hallway, complete with a walk-in hardwood closet, double vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. A full guest bath also serves as the social bathroom. The condo includes a laundry room, two underground parking spaces, and a generously sized bodega for additional storage.

Located just one floor above the lobby, this 2-bedrrom, El Centro treasure is listed at $227,000 and includes all appliances. Select furniture pieces and the terrace furnishings are negotiable. The monthly HOA is $137.

Price: $227,000
