My boyfriend and I went to Quito in January and decided to hike Cotopoxi. Not sure we would have made it without Diego! We got sick before our second acclimating hike and he motivated us to give it a try. When I got nervous and almost decided to not go, he assured me I would be safe and to just do the best i could. Diego became our own personal tour guide and friend. He really made us welcome and gave us honest suggestions to enjoy Ecuador based on listening to what we like. We highly recommend working with him. Our trip wouldn’t have been the same!
