Our mission
Noel and Gabriela founded Explore for Conservation in 2024 to share their passion and knowledge about Ecuador after years of travelling around the country. They wanted to give more visibility and share with the world all the unknown and unique places and lodges that are all around the country.
​
Explore for Conservation emphasises crafting unique experiences in the most biodiverses hotspots. The goal is to run high-quality and sustainable trips while keeping the experience that can be felt in those remote places. That makes our trips an immersive experience that goes from the off the road transportation to remote places to the high-quality and sustainable ecolodges and experiences.
​
Tourism as a source of employment is vital in their supplier choices, ensuring suppliers reinvest in local communities through education and sustainable opportunities. Working with passionate, knowledgeable professionals, they preserve biodiversity, conserve wildlife, and uplift communities. Their dedication to responsible travel fosters meaningful, once-in-a-lifetime journeys, making a lasting impact on both travellers and destinations.
