After several years abroad, he returned to his native country with the firm intention of contributing to community development. This is how he founded an emblematic tourism company, Andean Adventures, in Ecuador, oriented not only to promote the country’s cultural and natural wealth but also to boost conservation initiatives, ecosystem restoration, and support for vulnerable communities.
