Graciela De Valle

Chela’s background as a naturalist in the Galapagos islands, influenced her love and passion for nature and conservation. When Chela returned to Ecuador, having lived in the UK for over a decade, she worked with the local indigenous community becoming the first President of the Peoples assembly supporting the rural development of not only her community but also other parts of Quito DM. Working for Camps is a natural progression of her passion for conservation and supporting the development of rural communities. The ability to share her knowledge and enthusiasm to the travellers, helping them to understand and appreciate other ways of living so they become global citizens, is what motivates and defines Chela’s work.
