OLA’s Guides
OLA works with a few guides depending on your chosen adventure, as all adventurer’s need to feel that they are with the right person for the specific trips inside of Ecuador. The two guides shown below are both of the highest level.

Biking expert
Orientation awards
4 X 4 accreditation
Spanish and English
Patricio Tisalema
Well what can one say the picture below says it all. We have the priviledge to work with Patricio, an internationally acclaimed Mountain professional. Patricio like Alfredo are professionals among the elite of Ecuador.
I will not go into a great detail about Patricio as that would spoil meeting him, you can all look up on line and read all about him. A man that has summited some of the highest mountains in the world without oxygen, yes including Everest, no more said! There is just one thing left to say that takes Patircio above the hand full of people that have achieved this great feat, and this is that he achieved climbing Everest not only without oxygen but completely alone.
