Latin America, Galapagos Trip Leader
Languages Spoken: English & Spanish
Guide Since: 1993
When you grow up in one of the most diverse and extraordinary places on earth, it seems only right to invest your time and energy in keeping that place special, and Cecibel “Ceci” Guerrero is no exception. Originally from Ecuador, Ceci guided in the Galápagos from 1993 to 2001. After taking a short break to start a family, she returned to the Galápagos in 2008 to continue her work as a guide in the place she loves the most. She obtained her license as a Level III Naturalist Guide by the Galápagos National Park Service and the Charles Darwin Research Station, and in 2015, she also became a certified Guide Trainer in Environmental Interpretation. Ceci is an avid snorkeler and scuba diver, and has a real enthusiasm for sharing this magical place with our guests. “I feel blessed and honored to work in one of the most pristine places on earth,” she says.
Our TeamI cannot say enough about Ceci as a trip leader. She is as dedicated, informed, professional, congenial, approachable, and downright wonderful as any guide I have ever encountered. Her breadth of knowledge and ability to communicate that knowledge in an engaging manner was laudable.

Cece was wonderful in every respect. She was extremely knowledgeable and fielded questions without difficulty. She was organized and kept us all on task without being overbearing, which was coupled with experience and good communication skills, all of which resulted in an appreciation of the islands, its history and its rich wildlife and flora, the memories of which I will never forget.
