ABOUT US
YOUR ECUADOR & GALAPAGOS EXPERT PLANNERS
Extraordinary journeys. Meaningful connections.
Hello from Galapagos Islands dear traveler!
We are Xavier and Ana Lucía, founders of Parallel 0° Tours. With over 20 years of combined experience in tourism, communications, and experience design, we create tailor-made journeys for discerning travelers who value exclusivity, personalized attention, and meaningful experiences beyond the ordinary. We believe travel is an art: a way of discovering the world through a more intimate, authentic, and extraordinary perspective.
Our story is deeply connected to the Galápagos Islands, a place that holds a special meaning in our lives. Xavier was born in the archipelago, and together, today, we have developed a profound connection with its landscapes, people, and remarkable biodiversity. This local knowledge allows us to reveal the essence of Ecuador and Galápagos through authentic encounters and carefully curated experiences.
We believe true luxury lies in the details: the freedom to travel at your own pace, the privilege of an itinerary designed around your interests, and the peace of mind that every aspect of your journey has been thoughtfully considered. Our approach combines comfort, authenticity, and exceptional personal service with a deep respect for the destinations we call home.
We are also committed to protecting the natural heritage that makes these places extraordinary. We dedicate 1% of our trips to the conservation of the Galápagos short-eared owl, supporting the preservation of this unique species and the fragile ecosystem it inhabits.
Since 2020, our mission has been to create journeys that go beyond expectations, fostering meaningful connections with nature and local communities while helping preserve what makes Ecuador so unique.
