Ecuador Farm Tours was born from a deep sense of pride in Ninfa’s peasant heritage and the legacy of her family, who have always lived with an immense passion for the land, the countryside, and the majestic mountains that surround them. Her company not only seeks to offer tourist experiences but also to highlight and share the true spirit of their customs and traditions.

For Ninfa, tourism is much more than a simple activity; it is a way to exalt that pride rooted in the heart of the peasants. She wants each visitor to immerse themselves in an authentic experience, where they can feel the essence of rural life. From the warm tradition of roasting coffee in the afternoons to the laborious task of peeling cocoa to make artisan chocolate, each activity is designed to offer a genuine immersion into daily practices.

Through Ecuador Farm Tours, travellers are invited to explore the landscapes and products while connecting with the living history and vibrant culture that defines Ninfa’s community. She wants each visit to be a celebration of their roots, a journey that enriches both visitors and hosts, who proudly share their heritage.

Ecuador Farm Tours strongly believes in the importance of giving back to the community. One of the main ways they do this is by integrating local labour in all operations. From the restaurant staff to the customer service team, they ensure that the majority of employees come from the same region in which they work. This not only supports the local economy but also guarantees an authentic and warm experience for visitors, who can interact with community members who deeply value their land and traditions.

In addition, they are committed to sourcing products from local suppliers to support local farmers and producers. They work with family farms such as the Torres and the Gutierrez, who provide fresh dairy products. They also buy seafood, such as crabs, from the Santillan family, and fresh fish from local fishermen who perform their jobs with admirable care and dedication. In this way, they not only guarantee fresh and authentic products for their customers but also foster a sustainable and fair economic cycle within the community.

Ninfa is deeply committed to the welfare and development of the community through social projects. They run initiatives such as teaching chess to local children, promoting cognitive and strategic thinking skills. Additionally, starting this year, they want to offer a warm and special Christmas to the children of the one-teacher school, which now has 60 primary school pupils, where they also once studied. This school is a special place for them, and contributing to its well-being is a meaningful way of giving back to the community that has given them so much.

Each of these efforts reflects Ninfa’s commitment to strengthening the local community and creating an environment where everyone can thrive together. They value not only the cultural and natural richness of the region but also the well-being and progress of the people who live there.
