We felt like we had a professor with us.

Mari's enthusiasm for all things Galapagos and Equadorian are infectious.  Makes me want to return to explore more of the country.  Her knowledge of the natural world and local history are very thorough. She is extremely generous and patient and funny.

Mariuxi was, without question, the best Naturalist and Guide that I have ever had.   She not only was knowledgeable (I don't think there was any question that she could not answer), but she was fun and flexible.   Sometimes guides don't respond to teasing, but she was unique in responding with humor and teasing us back.   Because of that, because of her knowledge, and because of her organizational skills, the trip was simply wonderful.....
