In The Luxury Travel Bible's opinion there are not enough adventure guides who are women, so we rate Dolores Diez as particularly special, as well as amazingly well qualified for the title of super-guide. As a Latin American woman and founder of Quasar Expeditions with guests from all over the world Dolores Diez has helped set the standard for successfully combining environmental preservation and education with eco-tourism. Her career literally grew up in cooperation with the Galapagos National Park, helping to define the eco-tourism industry. Her key to success has been in never losing sight of the fact that preserving the unparalleled Galapagos habitat comes first and foremost and provides the basis for the amazing animal encounters and one-of-a-kind classic yacht expeditions that she is known for.
