PROUD GAY TOUR OPERATOR IN ECUADOR

  

In the spirit of celebrating PRIDE 🏳️‍🌈, I want to shout out and HIGHLY RECOMMEND Francisco Guayasamin who serves as a PROUD GAY TOUR OPERATOR in Ecuador. Francisco listened to my lengthy list of interests, in and outside of Quito, and coordinated two fantastic days of sightseeing. From a day of photographing Quito from the mountains surrounding the capital, including riding a cable car to the foothills of a volcano above the city, to traveling south and hiking down and out a lagoon inside a caldera, to laughing out loud talking about gay life, I can’t speak highly enough about Francisco. He’s awesome and I can’t wait to hire his services again, when my siblings and I travel together, back to the motherland. Gracias, Francisco!  - Turismo GAY en Ecuador

And I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Robbie Santillan who drove me around during my week-long stay. Not only is Robbie a consummate professional but he is a gay social activist extraordinaire!  Robbie is one of the founders of Quito’s Gay Pride, and he started a Gay Arts & Sports organization too!  Who knows, maybe he’ll start Front Runners Ecuador!  Great things are on the horizon for Robbie, and I’m grateful for our new found friendship.
