Tireless traveler, fond of nomadism, wide open spaces and authentic encounters, Nicolas embodies our Terra Ecuador team. Entrepreneur, hotelier, consultant, I have been traveling around the world with more than sixty visited countries. I am deeply attached to Latin America and fell in love with Ecuador. I finally settled in Quito in 2014 with mi family.

I only offer tailored made and private trips here. For this vision I well understood the challenge of tailor-made travel, at the right pace, with the desire to reinvent myself each time as I belive each journey is a unique chapter and has to be Extraordinary and worthwile.

Nicolas's Expertise

Diving, Wellness, Luxury and fine-tuned local immersive experiences in Galapagos, pristine Amazon and Andes. I have a strong emphasis in naturalist cruises in Galapagos and 5* high end experience with my conciergerie and local network. After 13 years here, I remain passionate and creative to be your destination expert to create original itineraries and share his love for his adoptive country.

Best Travel Experience

Local tip: Go hiking on the slopes of Cayambe on the unknown eastern side to see the fauna and flora of Páramo on the unknown side of the giant of basalt and ice. Unique and favorable panoramas to observe perhaps a condor or a andean bear. My Favorite: Luxury ecolodge of the Yasuni national in the Amazon. A particular atmosphere in the middle of the primary forest. Bonus: the road crosses the Andes and the cloud forest of the Eastern Sierra. It is already in itself an airlock, an ode to biodiversity and an invitation to travel with breathtaking landscapes, untouched wildlife and endemic fauna / flora Wow!: A safari diving trip in the Galapagos. More precisely a drift dive on Gordon Rocks above the hammerhead shark school. A moving and magical experience, emblematic of the underwater wealth of this treasure archipelago of the Galapagos.

Why is Nicolas the right travel expert?

Empathy, local expertise and passion for promoting another way of exploring Ecuadorian Biodiversity. My personality open minded and curious helped me to develop high expectations for my travelers to go more in details in your itinerary and fine picking options in incredible spots. As a french entrepreneur, I love arts, culture, fooding and gastronomy to taste Ecuadorian local flavors with qualitative original perspectives I've been designing these years here. Always in private and fine follow-up for our guests in Ecuador and Galapagos
