About Marion

Write a review
I always loved traveling and discovering new cultures and landscapes, so it was a natural decision for me to make my passion my job. Although I am originally from France, near Paris, I have always been attracted to Latin America. After living in Mexico for an exchange during my studies and then in Colombia for an internship, I wanted to discover Ecuador next. I fell in love with this beautiful country, where visitors can see many different landscapes in a very short time. This is why we call it “the country of 4 worlds”. It surprises me that I keep discovering the diversity of Ecuador: there is the beautiful Galapagos, the mountains with the Andes, the Pacific coast and the Amazon forest. There is certainly something you will like here!

Marion's Expertise

I specialize in exploring Ecuador and also in creating tailor-made trips, depending on your interests. I can organize all types of trips, and specialize in cultural experiences and diversity. It is also important to say that I and the company I work for focus on eco-tourism by watching our environmental impact closely and support socio-environmental projects based in Ecuador. I will share all my knowledge and give you all the tips in order to make your stay in Ecuador a wonderful memory! Whether you would like to go on beautiful beaches, have a road trip through the Andes, discover the Amazonas, hike around volcanoes or get to know indigenous communities, everything is possible in Ecuador!

Marion's Best Travel Experience

One great thing about Ecuador is that there are a lot of opportunities to meet local communities. I love to discover new cultures and spend some time with people in order to see how they live. A lot of communities have opened their doors to tourism and are super happy to host visitors. I have myself experienced living with a Kichwa family, close to Otavalo. I think this is the best way to see how people live, by sharing and experiencing their traditions with them. And usually, they are really happy to exchange what they know. I only spent a few days with the family, but I learned a lot and will never forget the experience.

Why is Marion the right travel expert

One of the first reasons why I make a great travel expert is that I live in Quito, Ecuador. I really know the country and I can give you the best advice to travel. Also, it is not just me! I work with an international team that has a lot of knowledge. Some have been here for about 20 years. But even with this strong experience, we are still exploring Ecuador in order to discover new places! Because of our concern for the planet, choosing me would also mean choosing to have a positive impact on the planet while traveling!
