Mari was our guide during our recent trip to the Galápagos Islands. She had such a wonderful way with people, always genuine and generous in her interactions with us but it was her way with the wildlife of galapagos that was such a treat. She is like the animal whisperer. Because of her great love for all creatures and her respect for them, her approach is gentle and quiet. Whenever we were with Mari we saw so many more species because of her approach. Mari was so genuinely excited to share her discoveries with us; she made us feel as though we'd won the lottery when ever we came across on new creature in the wild. We feel privileged to have had her as our guide.
