Guide: Ariel Flores Mercado

ariel-bolivia

Born and raised in Cochabamba, Ariel is one of those cultured and energetic Bolivians who truly loves his job, sharing the beauty of his homeland with visitors from around the world.

With a lifelong passion for travel, meeting new people, and discovering other cultures, Ariel always knew from a young age that tourism was his calling. Becoming a guide, however, was not part of the original plan. It was during his studies for a degree in Tourism that he had his first encounter with guiding, when the college director offered him the chance to lead a small group of travelers. He never looked back.

Ariel loved it so much that he went on to become an official guide, a role he has now held for 8 years with no intention of changing. “Every day, every traveler is different, and that’s what makes this work so special,” he says. During trips he often takes the opportunity to teach travelers a few moves to Bolivian music. In his free time, Ariel stays active through soccer, swimming, and the occasional extreme sport.
