- Over 90% of our office staff are Ecuadorians, giving them an opportunity for fair employment, and the benefit of afiliation to the Social Security system.
- Happy Gringo is an Ecuadorian registered company, so our taxes are 100% paid in Ecuador, supporting the local economy.

I travelled independently to Ecuador and booked my 8-day Galapagos cruise with Happy Gringo, and Anglo-Dutch travel company based in Quito. They were very knowledgeable and provided a good service.
