About
Greentrek was created as a response to actual pressing environmental needs and also because we believe we can do travel the right way! We want to offer our customers high quality and safe experiences in Ecuador while taking advantage of all the positive benefits that sustainable tourism can generate.
We are very aware of the potential of tourism to conserve the environment, to help maintain local cultures, and to bring economic income to aid in the development of Ecuador’s inhabitants. Through sustainable and responsible tourism practices we believe all of this is possible. We are also aware of the importance of offering our customers a cultural learning experience (and therefore a more meaningful trip) which, in turn, can help promote positive community behavior through their active participation in Greentrek sustainable tourism practices.
Our Volunteer programs: We are also focused on volunteer placements around Ecuador. On such matters, we firmly believe in the positive change driven by the good intentions and willingness to help of volunteers worldwide. For us, the inter-cultural exchange is as important as the work that the volunteers do in the field; therefore we are very excited to help place volunteers in our projects. Doing so helps contribute to the conservation of Ecuador’s unique diversity and promotes a greater global cultural-understanding of the nation
Our programs for student groups: Another area we specialize in is Service Learning programs. We are aware of the uniqueness of Ecuador’s cultural and biological diversity and therefore we know exactly what to offer student groups. An adequate balance between very active and academically rich experiences in the field – while creating a fun environment for students to learn and enjoy their experience abroad – are what we take pride in offering.
We invite you to travel with us and enjoy your time abroad in a sustainable and meaningful way!
