Mariuxi Prieto

Mari was the best guide that one could ask for. She first gave us an overview of what we were going to see, and then she was able to answer further questions from her deep knowledge. She was extremely friendly, but firm. She was very clear that she expected people to be on time. She also reminded everyone what shoes and equipment to bring on daily expeditions. As a result of Mari's leadership, our 15 group members were prompt and brought the right stuff for our mini trips. She was a great manager as well as exceptionally knowledgeable about everything to do with the Galapagos Islands. One could feel her deep devotion to Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands, and her home city of  Guayaquil. She also had a fine sense of humor.
