Ecuador Hiker

Meet the Founders of Ecuador Hiker – Helen & René

Ecuador Hiker was founded by Helen, a local from Quito, and René, originally from the Netherlands but living in Ecuador since 2007. Together, they share a deep passion for Ecuador’s diverse landscapes, cultures, and wildlife—and for creating unforgettable travel experiences.

René has worked in tourism for many years and has explored much of the country, from the Amazon rainforest to the high Andes and the Galápagos Islands. His extensive knowledge and international background allow him to understand what travelers are looking for and how to deliver it with care and authenticity.

Helen has a strong background in designing customized trips for international travelers. With her local insight and attention to detail, she has crafted countless tailor-made itineraries that reflect the true spirit of Ecuador.
