About Rebecca Adventure Travel
WHO WE ARE
A purpose-driven boutique, rooted in Latin America
Rebecca Adventure Travel is a B Corp-certified, women-owned boutique luxury tour operator and destination management company (DMC). Founded in 2014 and led by Rebecca Braak, our founder and CEO, we are headquartered in Cumbayá, Quito, Ecuador, with a travel concept store in Zutphen, the Netherlands. We specialize in the Galápagos Islands, offering island-hopping tours and cruises, alongside tailor-made tours across mainland Ecuador, and we design itineraries in Peru, Colombia, Costa Rica, Chile, Argentina, and Antarctica.
We work directly with local naturalist guides, family-run businesses, and community projects through Huella Positiva, our regenerative tourism model. We serve English- and Dutch-speaking travelers and provide B2B DMC services across Latin America, along with corporate logistics services in Ecuador.
Tripadvisor has recognized us with Travelers’ Choice for six consecutive years, and the World Travel Awards named us Ecuador’s Leading Tour Operator 2023. Our 7-Day Galápagos Luxury Safari was featured in the National Geographic Luxury Collection, and more than 10,000 travelers have explored Latin America with us.

OUR FOUNDER’S STORY
From the Netherlands to the heart of the Andes
Rebecca Braak left the Netherlands with a one-way ticket and a conviction that travel, done well, could give back more than it takes. In 2014, she founded Rebecca Adventure Travel in Cumbayá, on the edge of Quito, with a simple idea: pair the wonder of the Galápagos and Latin America with a business that treats local communities and the environment as partners, not backdrops.
More than a decade later, that idea is a B Corp-certified boutique with a team of destination experts, a concept store in Zutphen, and thousands of travelers who have seen the region through the eyes of the local guides and family-run businesses we work with every day.
