Mariuxi Prieto

Mariuxi (Mari) was one of the four naturalists on our cruise of  Galapagos. All naturalists were knowledgeable and friendly, but I found myself trying hard to end up in Mari’s group every day. Her knowledge of the islands and their inhabitants is unsurpassed. Her talent at spotting the animals uncanny. Her excitement - admirable. Each time  that Mari would spot and point out an animal or a bird, it felt as it was her first time seeing them. She obviously loves what she does! Mari was also very accessible to us on the ship after our outings to chat about the day’s experiences and about what awaited us the next day. An absolute wonderful guide.
