Hi, I'm David. I was born and raised in Quito, Ecuador.
I graduated in Ecotourism in Quito city.
About 13 years ago, I started working as a naturalist guide in the Amazon Rainforest and now I specialize in Private Tours around Ecuador. During all my years working as a guide, I have been learning more about Ecuador, not only about nature but also about the history and culture of my country and the indigenous groups that inhabited here.
I have guided groups as well as independent travelers coming from many parts of the world, which allowed me to know firsthand the needs and requirements of the different guests visiting this country.
Some of my hobbies came handy with my job as a guide such as photography of fauna and nature, bird watching, trekking and mountain climbing.
With this new situation of the pandemic I kept myself learning more about art and culture of Quito and Ecuador and I am really happy that it is possible to start a new way of tourism with walkwitme and you!
My tours will range from visits in the Old Town in Quito, visiting farmers markets and once a week I will try to take you visit near by destinations in Quito.
I look forward to walk with you in Quito and Ecuador!
