Roberto Caz Quillay was born in Ecuador in a Puruhá village called Alao San Antonio. He lives there with his wife Grigoria and his five children. He is the link between REGALO and the local population. In 1989 he was the first indigenous person to climb the Sangay, a snow-covered peak. In 1991 he founded a local association for mountain guides from the region. In the meantime, he has led innumerable national and international expeditions in the Sangay National Park, and now knows more about the Sangay heights than anyone else.
Roberto Caz Quillay is a passionate defender of the Sangay National Park, with its unique fauna and flora, and also makes great efforts to improve the living conditions for the people of his village.
