Adam Schofield (UK) Wladimir Ortiz was my amazing host during my two week stay in Rio Bamba. Due to weather permissions i never had the chance to join him for one of his more daring adventures or for the horse back ride across the highlands of the Chimborazzo. However i did trek through the most amazing valley surrounded by waterfalls and an active volcano, a remarkable memory indeed.
Each week Wlad tries to find time to follow a trail thats yet to be trampled with a thousand boot prints, hoping to discover new worlds and untouched lands which can be added to the list of places he can take you. He has recently created a new website for travelers visiting Ecuador without a Lonely Planet guide.
His trips are an unforgettable experience.
Stephanie (United States) Wlady’s tours are incredible. I really felt like I went to the ends of the earth: camping at Punay (and seeing the best sunset I have ever seen), horseback riding around Chimborazo, and exploring the Amazon jungle. At all of these places, I didn’t see any other groups of tourists—we were truly immersed in the culture of Ecuador. Also, the landscapes were breathtaking. I wanted an adventure, and I wanted an authentic experience, and I certainly got it. I fell in love with Ecuador, and I know this is because of the wonderful opportunities I had during my stay.
If you’re looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure—contact Ecuador Eco Adventure — no one else does it better.
Cecilia y Ludo (France) We have spent 2 days horseback riding with our guide Wladimir. I was so scared to spend hours in the horseback but Ive made the tour because my boyfriend has insisted a lot.I rided 3 times in my life before in France.At the end of the tour I was so glad to make it because it was nice landscape, patient guide, and now I love running with horse.I recommend it for everyone.MERCI
