General Manager of Kichwa Wildlife Center
Edgar Noteno
When Edgar was 12-years-old, he got his first taste of tourism working as a kitchen assistant in a local lodge. Over time, he worked his way up the ladder, becoming a waiter and then, a motorized canoe operator.
Recently he began studying English in an effort to become a local, bilingual guide.
In Edgar’s words:
“Over the last few years of working in tourism, I have met many national and international people who I have become very close to. We’ve organized trips and had wonderfull experiences together.
I love working with and getting to know people and, of course, I love nature, which is why I decided to invest my time in tourism and learning English.”
