Mariuxi Prieto

We met Mariuxi while on a 7 night Galapagos cruise on the Celebrity Xperience. Mari was very safety and eco conscious, she was well informed and passionate about the details of Galapagos wildlife, flora and fauna as well as the preservation and protection of this incredible part of the world. Mari was clear about expectations and the need to respect the rules to  ensure safety for us as well as the wildlife. She listened intently to our questions and provided thoughtful and thorough responses. Her understanding of all we encountered was impressive  and her many years of work experience in the area was evident in her ability to explain and elaborate as well as comment on research and observations she has completed over the years. We saw excitement and passion in her readiness to share her insights freely. Although she worked alongside other very capable guides, Mari stood out as exceptional. She is friendly, supportive during challenging hikes and has a great sense of humour. We learned so much on this trip and will remember it fondly. If you have the opportunity to benefit from having Mari as your guide, we would highly recommend her!
