From Where We Stand: Going the extra Mile


Marco, one of our tour leaders, believes “Life is a glance. No matter how long you live, do as much as you can and enjoy everything you do.” This is what he decided to do when he started guiding 20 years ago. His passion for his country has led him to travel all around Ecuador, deepening his knowledge in everything it has to offer. He speaks fluent English, French and Japanese and despite how much he travels, there is always something new to see or learn. Guiding has being the most enriching experience and is full of stories worth sharing! Here is one of them:

Marco and his tour group were on their way to a wonderful site along the Andes. All of a sudden, they saw a truck in the middle of the road ahead. As they got closer, they managed to see that the truck was waiting for its passengers to finish milking the cows. Marco tried reasoning with the locals and suggesting many alternatives to benefit both parts but they refused to move the truck until they had finished milking the cows. Waiting seemed inevitable until Marco did what no one thought he would. He rolled up his sleeves and helped the locals out by milking the cows himself. He certainly helped speed up the process while at the same time provided his group with an unique experience. Where else would your own guide offer himself to milk cows in order to stick to the itinerary? That’s commitment right there!
