Gentian Trails

Overview

Description

We would like to introduce you to Gentian Trails and our "Authentic Experience" trips. We provide our guests with selected products that are the best available in terms of comfort, style, quality, and service, combining conventional travel and soft adventure tours for families and groups. We also work together with boat operators in the Galapagos Islands and Perú to offer you a complete experience. Below are some of the reasons why you should choose Gentian Trails:

• We employ guides who specialize in mainland Ecuador, with many years of experience working with very demanding and discerning guests.
• We design the most imaginative and authentic itineraries and select the finest accommodations, guides, and transport.
• Gentian Trails features unique touches including picnics with excellent South American wines and the finest local ingredients and refreshment breaks, all in carefully chosen locations of great natural beauty.
• We pride ourselves on the small but highly memorable details we provide, so that clients feel they are receiving the ultimate in personalized service. These include welcome packs, gifts, farewell presents, and many other added surprises.
• Gentian Trails can be used as a one-stop shop for mainland Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.

We design authentic experiences with superb service, adding a touch of style and class. We divide our land services into two segments:

• Standard tours: Conventional programs to popular destinations, with several added values and touches that differentiate our company from other operators.
• Authentic tours: With these packages, we hope you will experience the authentic way of life of the people of Ecuador, wherever they live and whatever their occupation.

We will show you a variety of landscapes such as cloud forests, semi-dry valleys, Páramo grassland vegetation, snow-capped volcanoes, and cultivated areas, so that you have a truly authentic and unique experience.
