Takiri Travel means “the one who creates” or “the starting point to create travels,” 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 they visit. Every journey is an invitation to experience Ecuador and South America through our eyes and to find that deeper connection.
At Takiri, we design several types of experiences: from adventure, nature, culturally immersive, and culinary 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 started as a dream back in 2018. Four people who have 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 but 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 we make sure that 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
