Gentian Trails was founded by Santiago Martinez and Eleonora Ortiz, who bring over 30 years of experience in luxury tourism. Both are professional guides who have extensively traveled throughout Ecuador and Latin America, working with high-end and demanding clients.

What makes us unique is that several members of our team, including the sales department, are also professional guides. This gives us a different perspective on operations and customer service, setting us apart from other DMCs (Destination Management Companies).

We are deeply committed to sustainability and social responsibility. Gentian Trails actively supports ecological initiatives such as the conservation of the Andean condor and the spectacled bear, as well as social programs that provide education for indigenous communities in the Northern Andes and assistance for homeless shelters. We are proud members of the Rainforest Alliance.

As an exclusive tour operator in Ecuador with extensive experience in serving luxury travelers, we deliver a genuine, personalized, and high-quality service. Our sales and operations team, like the company’s founders, are professional guides with in-depth knowledge of the country and its hidden gems. This allows us to design unique and authentic journeys through Ecuador that will delight even the most discerning travelers.
