Eran Hayoun is the manager and owner of Gulliver Expeditions Company. In 2001 Eran was 26 years old and came to Ecuador from Israel with the dream of establishing a self-sustained, organic farm in the western highlands. After searching for six months for a farm he found the “Hacienda Bolivia” and started working to establish a Hosteria (farm house). On March 27, 2002, Eran opened “Hosteria PapaGayo” for those who want to enjoy the nature and the charm of this land. After three years Eran created Gulliver Agency to amplify the services he provides to tourists. Eran goes on all types of tours operated by Gulliver.
