Pasé un tiempo por Ecuador, y tuve la gran oportunidad, gracias a esta operadora, de realizar varios viaje por la región, siendo uno de ellos por la Amazonía. Un sueño cumplido para mí. La experiencia fue inolvidable bajo una empresa formal, flexible y con un trato impecable. Gracias a Saraurku, porque los sueños también se pueden hacer realidad.

My guide was Ruth Minga, and she did an excellent job, and well exceeded my expectations… she put together a well-crafted agenda. I stayed with a humble family, who happened to be immensely talented in music. I learnt their way of living, cooking, getting to know their friends and family, etc. The stay with them was absolutely phenomenal…
In summary, I highly recommend Saraurku and Ruth as your guide, to anyone visiting Saraguro, which is only 2-3 hours from Cuenca.
