About Richard Hernandez naturalist guide in Mindo cloudforest
An ecological concern
To preserve the ecosystem is necessary to hire a professional who understands how the ecosystem works and be able to pass onto our worth visitors the message. Simply do a Symbiosis where tourists and locals we do work together.
Why is a must to hire a naturalist?
Richard (national licensed tour guide by Ministry of Tourism of Ecuador) has worked in Ecuador for: Lindblad Expeditions groups of National Geographic, Thomas Cook, Cox and Kings, Audley Travel London, Journey Latin America, Metropitan Touring (Ecuador), GAdventures and other local ones like Haugan Cruises, Angermeyers Andando tours, etc.
Richard has also been leading groups of tourist visitors to The Galapagos Islands. In his passion for service, Richard got to work as a professional driver for U.S missions in Ecuador as well as for foreign embassies and NGOs of human rights. Smith System Driver Improvement was part of his training.
In Richard's life following the steps of his mother in the service and love for the others, he wanted to be consecrated and he did work for the most needy as a member of the Church. Social work with children, youth and adults and finally became a novice monk (order of saint Bernard, the Trappists O.C.S.O). Love towards the human being, life and respect.
With his near 20 years experienced in Tourism of Ecuador, 9 of those years as licensed naturalist guide (by Ministry of the Environment of Ecuador) he is now the entrepreneur of leading eco-travelers to the cloud forest wonders.
