Marco Castro

Marco was born in the highlands near Quito. His childhood was spent on the family farm with horses and cows to chase or mountains to hike. This kind of childhood fostered a love for the outdoors and taught him to enjoy time in nature.  

Marco studied Tourism Administration to become a tour guide, allowing him to work outside while displaying his passion for the wonders of his native country, Ecuador. Hiking, horseback riding, bicycling and kayaking keep Marco feeling close to home while he's away guiding. Marco has been guiding people around the Highlands, Amazon basin, Coast, and Galapagos archipelago for over 20 years. He has learned to enjoy sharing with people, to accept them, understand their needs and make them feel like family while visiting his home country of Ecuador.
