The first member of our family living in the Galapagos island arrive by boat, our grand grand father "Juan Salgado", he was a nurse on the marine ships.
He met Ercilia on Floreana island, they felt in love and had 2 childrens, my grandmother Cecilia and Emperatriz, two girls born and raised on the archipelago.
Cecilia was an earth lover, always in touch with the nature, the agriculture becomes her passion and with the past of the years she met my Grand father "Maximo" a fisherman.
They had three lovely kids, Peter, Max and Maribel. They use to live on Floreana islands were the population was less than 50 persons, without electricity, internet and none technology.
Peter was a self learner, since he was a kid, he was curios, to be honest he still curios for nature, there are some thing than never change, a true explorer. When Peter was studying the university on mainland he met Rossy, they became friends for several years and some time later they get married and have me "Hans Peter Jr" and my sister Astrid.

Astrid is an idealist, always seeking for the common good, at the actual moment she is the president of the Galapagos Naturalist Guides Association (AGNG). She was studying biology on the university, that was her love, the understanding about nature, always reading and analyzing the different natural process. For major reason she had to stop her career and as a coincidence the Galapagos Naturalist guides was open, so she take the shot. On the training course she share with Peter and more guides from the village gratetful and enriching moments that make her to become the leader that she is now, strong and persevering.
