Gentian Trails
Gentian Trails - The Authentic Experience
Gentian Trails is a true high-end DMC specialising in discovering the best version of Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands through streamlined experiences, carefully curated by experts. All their experiences take place in pristine and authentic destinations, supported by exceptional logistics.
Gentian Trails was founded in 2006 by Santiago Martinez and Eleonora Ortiz, who both have more than 30 years of experience in the travel industry, working with very high-end and demanding clients. They are also professional guides who have extensively travelled and explored Ecuador and Latin America. The company's diverse team brings together different perspectives from across the hospitality and travel world: professional guides, a colonial art curator, hoteliers, destination specialists, and mountain athletes. This varied expertise has given them a different perspective on operations and customer service, providing a significant advantage over other DMCs. They share stories and experiences while creating meaningful journeys.
Gentian Trails is also involved in important conservation and social projects. The DMC has adopted a condor named Jatun, who will play an important role in the future conservation of the species. They have also remained committed to social programs, supporting the education of young Indigenous people and a home for children in need in the northern Ecuadorian Andes. They are re-envisioning authentic travel through authentic sustainability, thus also allying themselves as a member of the Rainforest Alliance and The Long Run.
