Wayra means “wind” in Kichwa – a traveling, adventurous wind that carries stories, people, and dreams across Ecuador’s most breathtaking landscapes.
Born from a shared love for exploration, Wayra Adventure was created by Tania and Jorge after years of helping friends experience the Galápagos in extraordinary ways. From the Amazon Rainforest to the remote islands of the Pacific, their journeys sparked something deeper: a calling to officially launch a travel company that puts people, purpose, and nature at the center of every adventure.
Today, joined by Kelly—a Galápagos-based expert with over 15 years of experience in high-end tourism—Wayra Adventure designs tailor-made journeys with a personal touch, deep local knowledge, and genuine care. Whether it’s your first time in Ecuador or your tenth, we’re here to craft experiences that go beyond the ordinary. Because for us, travel isn’t just movement—it’s connection, transformation, and wind that awakens the soul.
Your adventure begins with the people who make it real
“Born and raised in the Ecuadorian Amazon, my life is deeply tied to nature. I started as a rafting guide and have logged over 4,000 dives in the Galápagos as a dive instructor. I co-founded Wayra Adventure to share the magic of unique places, creating journeys to reconnect with nature with respect and awe.”
“I was born and raised in the Galápagos Islands, where my love for nature and exploration began. My father, a cruise ship captain for 30+ years, showed me the archipelago’s most beautiful and remote places. After studying tourism and hospitality, my husband Jorge and I founded Wayra Adventure in 2019 to offer authentic and personalized travel experiences.”
“I first came to Galápagos while studying tourism—and it was love at first sight. For over 15 years, I’ve crafted personalized trips, focusing on every detail to ensure a smooth experience. At Wayra Adventure, I combine my expertise with a passion for authentic travel, creating stress-free journeys that reflect the true spirit of the islands.”
