OUR STORY

Swiss origin, we were part of the first inhabitants of the islands.. Hotel Cucuve is our service offering oriented towards a culture of conservation, which means taking care about all the details of the experience, that is where Swiss standards converge with our Ecuadorian warmth.
Welcome to your home in Galapagos! 
Judith Fretz & Hans Schiess, owners

Mockingbirds (Cucuves) are birds that helped young Charles Darwin develop the theory of adaptation of species in their environment.

He compared the data collected from different islands and found that all four of their species were descended from common ancestors.

Adaptation and evolution are our keystones.

As we adapt to the continuous improvements that modern times demand, we seek to mitigate their impact, we understand that being part of a conservation culture is closely related to having to worry about the details that make up the overall experience. Times change and we evolve with them.
