This is not your normal wine tasting. This is going to be something special – in La Maria Restaurant, located upstairs in Casa Yangoe, in a beautifully refurbished colonial restaurant that exudes sophistication and authenticity.

An exclusive wine tasting experience guided by sommelier Julián Ontivero.

On April 23 at La María Cuenca, discover how wine transforms when paired with Ecuadorian cuisine, technique, and intention. This is not a traditional pairing, say the owners, “It’s our way of understanding wine through Cocina Libre.

6 PM $30 per person (tax included). Mention Ashley Rogers and get $5 off the admission price. Limited seating.

​​​​​​​Reserve your spot on WhatsApp: +593 98 456 1324.

Yes, it’s last minute… but sometimes those turn out to be the best nights.

Recommendation for: Dr. Domenica’s ‘1 HR Facelift Treatment’ Ultraformer, Before and after photo 😱
01 Promo GP

My face looks 10 years younger — and it only took one hour!!!

My name is Anne and I am 64 years old. For a long time, I looked in the mirror and did not like what I saw. My face felt heavy and puffy. I looked tired and old. My cheeks looked droopy and full, like I had gained weight in my face. I did not feel like myself anymore.

A friend told me about Dr. Domenica’s “1 Hr Facelift’ treatment. I was scared at first. But I made the call anyway.

Dr. Domenica was so kind and so gentle. She speaks English, which made me feel calm and at ease right away. She listened to me. She explained everything in a simple way. She even suggested a light filler treatment to go along with the main procedure. I trusted her, so I said yes.

The treatment is called the Ultraformer. It took just one hour. ONE hour! I sat in the chair, and before I knew it, it was done. No pain after. No recovery time. Nothing. I just went home.

And the results? I could not believe my eyes!!!!

I looked like I went back in time 10 years. My face was lifted. The heaviness was gone. I looked like ME again — the younger me!!!!

My husband could not stop smiling. My children looked at me and said, “Mom, what did you do?!” They could not believe the difference.

A regular facelift in Cuenca costs $6,000. Dr. Domenica’s Ultraformer procedure was just $600. That is 90% less. For the same kind of results.

Only ONE treatment. No need for follow ups!!

No surgery. No stitches. No pain. Just one hour of my time.

Address: San Blas, Cuenca, Azuay, Ecuador

Hello, you wrote "No pain after". Is there a pain during or is the whole procedure pain free? The light filler treatment that you chose to go along with the main procedure, was it also pain free? Was the price of light filler treatment included in the $600? How long... Read more 0 0
The Galápagos they don’t show you from a cruise ship

The Galápagos isn’t meant to be watched from a cruise deck.

Most travelers move through the islands pretty quickly—fixed schedules, same routes, always surrounded by groups.

But the real Galápagos is different.
It’s when you slow down.

When you walk volcanic trails without crowds.

When you get in the water and you’re not just seeing wildlife—you’re right there with sea turtles and penguins moving around you, not past you.

I’m Alex Arregui. I’ve lived and worked here for nearly 30 years as a National Park Certified Guide (#143). I also have a Master’s from the University of Birmingham.

What I do is not just guiding—I help you actually understand what you’re looking at, and why this place is so unique.

I work with land-based experiences on Isabela Island, based in Puerto Villamil.
No rushing. No strict itineraries.

You stay in my private suites, right by the Flamingo Lagoon and one block from the beach, and explore the islands at the right pace.

It’s a much more real way to experience the Galápagos—and it also supports local people here on the island, from small restaurants to independent boat captains.

If you’re coming all the way here, it’s worth doing it properly.

Send me a message or WhatsApp me directly and I’ll help you put something together that actually makes the trip worth it.
