, Vanesa

Vanesa, founder of Guru Royal Adventours
An insider in Quito

“Ecuador is not a place you visit. It is a rhythm you settle into.”

For twenty years I have opened the private doors of my country, quiet coves in the Galápagos, family haciendas beneath Cotopaxi, lodges deep in the Amazon canopy. I do not sell trips. I compose them, in confidence, for a very small number of travellers each season.

The Ecuadorian Lifestyle

Six worlds. One country.

From the Pacific coast to the Amazon canopy, four hours of flight cross four extraordinary ecosystems. This is what we spend our lives arranging.

The Guru Method

Five quiet movements.

Every journey we compose passes through the same five stages. It is why our travellers rarely stop being our travellers.

  1. 01STEP
    Discover

    A single conversation. We listen for the rhythm of how you like to move.

  2. 02STEP
    Curate

    Vanesa personally selects each property, each guide, each experience.

  3. 03STEP
    Design

    The journey is built like an editorial, with pace, contrast and pause.

  4. 04STEP
    Refine

    We polish every transfer, table and time zone before you fly.

  5. 05STEP
    Experience

    A concierge stays with you before, during and after the journey.
