Takiri Travel means “the one who creates” or “the starting point to create travels”. The moment an idea becomes an experience, where imagination turns into connection. Because the most powerful experiences
are the ones that transform you.
And that’s exactly what we do — we are your doorway to creating travel experiences that inspire, transform, and connect.
Our mission is to bring travelers closer to the people, the places and the local cultures you visit. Every journey is an invitation to find a deeper connection while traveling and to experience Ecuador and South America through our eyes.
At Takiri, we design several types of experiences: from adventure, nature, culturally immersive, culinary and wellness, but always with a deep attention to detail, with high quality standards, and also with a high degree of social and environmental responsibility. Every local provider that we collaborate with shares our same values of sustainability and cultural preservation. Our expertise brings travelers to experience Ecuadorian traditions, lifestyle, and people.
Takiri is not just who we are.
It’s what we do
Takiri started in 2018 as a dream of creating experiences and forging that connection between the client and the destination they visit. It started with 4 people who had been working in the travel industry for a long time but were tired of always offering the same tourist attractions that felt dull and empty. The dream started taking shape and in 2020, it had to undergo a series of changes and restructuring. That is when a new era started for Takiri. Under the leadership of Michael, together with Adriana and Alex, Takiri took on the revolutionary role of becoming a connecting bridge between travelers and the people, places, and cultures. We saw that the most transformative and lasting moments happen when you create smaller and more intimate situations where true connection can take place. With Takiri you don’t just visit a destination; you make a connection with our team, the people, and the places that you visit.
Something that truly sets us apart from the rest is our incessant desire to constantly bring on new experiences and new providers that truly align with our principles. As time passes we’ve had to say bye to some of them and we’ve welcomed new ones. Small businesses tend to change and take different directions so some of them do not maintain a high level of service or even

From a local cooking class and cow milking to meeting Indigenous communities and snorkeling with sea lions, you won’t just see Ecuador and South America—you’ll live it. Travel that engages all your senses.

We design every itinerary with nature e community in mind. Our goal is simple: each trip should leave Ecuador’s ecosystems and cultures better supported than before—whether through community partnerships, conservation donations, or choosing services that uplift local families.
In 2026, we will measure, reduce, and fully offset the carbon footprint of every Takiri trip—including land transport, domestic flights, and activities. Guests will know exactly how their journey supports reforestation, clean-energy projects, and Indigenous-led conservation.
We keep our groups intimate not just for comfort—but for the planet. Fewer people per group means less environmental impact, more authentic community interaction, and experiences that stay respectful of fragile ecosystems like the páramo, cloud forest, and the Galápagos.
We choose accommodations, restaurants, and activity providers who treat their people fairly, respect nature, and operate with transparent sustainability standards. Whenever possible, we support Indigenous enterprises, family-run farms, and ecolodges that genuinely walk the eco-talk.
In 2026 we continue reducing single-use plastics across all tours. Refillable bottles, filtered-water access, plastic-free snacks, and reusable amenities will be standard—because no traveler needs a mountain of packaging to enjoy the mountains.
From sea lions in the Galápagos to monkeys in the Amazon, we follow strict wildlife-friendly guidelines: no feeding, no touching, and no disturbing habitats. We work only with guides trained in ethical wildlife interaction, ensuring magical moments that don’t compromise nature.
Every Takiri traveler gets gentle, practical tips on traveling responsibly—local customs, conservation etiquette, and ways to support communities long after they return home. We believe change starts with awareness, and every informed traveler becomes part of the movement.
