Experience the True Essence of the GalΓ‘pagos Islands
Every year, travelers arrive with high expectations but often leave feeling like theyβve only scratched the surface. They may have followed the itinerary, taken photos, but missed experiencing the soul of the islands.
About Me
My name is Alex Arregui, a Marine Biologist with a Masterβs degree from the University of Birmingham. I am a former researcher at the Charles Darwin Research Station and have been a 30-year resident of the GalΓ‘pagos Islands. This isnβt just a destination for me; itβs my home.
A Unique Island-Hopping Experience
I specialize in designing personalized island-hopping journeys, ranging from smart budget trips to exclusive luxury experiences. With no rigid schedules or crowded groups, I create the perfect plan tailored around your preferences.
What Sets My Tours Apart?
- Optimized Time Management: we schedule activities when wildlife is most active, not based on a cruise timetable.
- Immersive Experiences: Gain a deeper understanding of the islandβs wildlife and ecosystems.
- Exclusive Accommodations: Stay in my private suites in Isabela, offering stunning views of the Flamingo Lagoon and the Sierra Negra Volcano.
- Complete Flexibility: Choose from boutique hotels, local stays, or luxury accommodations tailored to your preferences.
Stress-Free Planning
Simply book your flights to the GalΓ‘pagos, and I will handle all other aspects of your trip, including tours, transfers, and logistics.
Supporting the Local Community
I collaborate directly with trusted local captains and small operators to ensure an authentic experience that benefits the local community.
Interested in Exploring the GalΓ‘pagos Islands?
Whether you are just beginning to consider a trip or have specific ideas in mind, feel free to reach out to me. I can assist in planning the best way to experience the islands based on your time, budget, and interests.
βMakes you happy, makes me happy.β

This 2-story, open-concept, one-bedroom, modern, furnished condo in a refurbished colonial building in the heart of Cuencaβs historic center is the perfect live-in or rental-income property.
Tucked inside one of El Centroβs most sought-after buildingsβjust two blocks from Parque San Sebastian and set along the iconic SimΓ³n BolΓvarβthis two-story, loft-style condo offers a rare combination of historic character, modern comfort, and strong rental potential in one of Cuencaβs most desirable locations.
Housed in a beautifully restored 110-year-old patrimonial property, thoughtfully reimagined by one of Cuencaβs most celebrated and award-winning development companies, this residence blends timeless architecture with a clean, contemporary layout that appeals equally to full-time residents and short- or long-term renters.
With 77.85 square meters (838 square feet) of well-designed space, the condo feels larger than expected, thanks to its two-story layout and the natural separation between living and sleeping areas.
The main level is open, warm, and filled with light, with abundant windows illuminating the living, dining, and kitchen spaces throughout the day.
From the bedroom, a small wooden terrace offers a perfect spot for plants or a quiet outdoor moment and provides direct accessβthrough a charming swinging doorβto the buildingβs lush, plant-filled outdoor living area. Because of its proximity and ease of access, this shared space functions almost like a private extension of the homeβan added lifestyle feature that renters and owners alike truly value.

This beautifully upgraded, light-filled 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath condo in Puertas del Sol with an expansive 2-sided terrace and fabulous mountain and city views, offers something rarely found in Cuenca β a truly high-design home where every detail has been thoughtfully considered and executed. Both spacious bedrooms are en-suite.
Located in one of the cityβs most desirable neighborhoods, favored by both expats and locals for its walkability, river access, and proximity to restaurants and cafΓ©s, the apartment spans 208 sq. meters (2,246 sq. ft), with 156 sq. meters (1,680 sq. ft) of interior space and an additional 52 sq. meters (566 sq. ft) of covered terraces that wrap gracefully around two sides of the home.
From the moment you enter, the space opens wide to light and jaw-dropping views. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors line the exterior walls, drawing in the changing skies and soft mountain light from the Cajas to the west. The effect is immediate β a sense of openness, calm, and quiet sophistication. The indoor and outdoor spaces blend seamlessly here, with covered pergolas extending the living areas outward, creating a flow that makes everyday life feel expansive and relaxed.
What truly sets this home apart, however, is the level of upgrades β more than $90,000 invested to ensure both beauty and comfort. There is no builder-grade finish here. Premium Italian and Ecuadorian tile surfaces run throughout, complemented by Kohler fixtures in every bathroom and carefully selected materials that reflect a consistent design vision.
The open-concept living, dining (a more formal area), and kitchen area is perfect for entertaining, and add the outdoor space, and let the party begin. Itβs also great for family functions. All on one floor, the living area also offers an alcove where there are currently two desks, perfect for remote workers. There is also a library/relaxation space in between the two bedrooms, which could also be converted into an office.
This beautifully light and bright luxury condo, with a large terrace and magnificent views
It has 24/7 guard service and a fob-controlled elevator providing both peace of mind and a sense of quiet exclusivity for residents and their guests. Additional features include two elevators, a backup generator, underground parking, and a private storage unit (bodega).
