Juan Carlos Jaramillo

Juan Carlos was an excellent companion and guide on our day trip from Quito. He arrived early to pick us up, and was able to knowledgeably respond to all our questions about our surroundings and about Ecuador in general. We had requested a stop at the Equator, and he also stopped for us to sample some delicious Ecuadorian fruit from a vendor along the way. In Otavalo, our interest was the textile market, but he made sure we visited the produce market as well, which (unlike the textile market on a wednesday) was not oriented towards tourists. He made sure we continued to sample produce we were not familiar with. He joined us for a lunch at a restaurant he recommended, where we enjoyed various typical dishes and juices. His English was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed our day with him. He also arranged for our transfer to the airport the following day. We happily recommend Juan Carlos's services.
