Soy española viajé a Ecuador en agosto 2021 durante la pandemia, tuve muchas dudas al inicio por lo que escuchaba, pero todo eso terminó cuando arribé a Quito, el encuentro fue increíble, el transporte muy limpio, nuestro guía una persona maravillosa, los hoteles, la comida fue increíble. Admiro su trabajo con las comunidades, recuerdo aún sus rostros llenos de alegría.
