While racing mountain bikes, Lore's love for nature began to grow very quickly. With a lifestyle and sports that took her to the mountains, she had the opportunity to grow up among trees and wildlife. After winning few National titles, Lore decided to focus on her other passion: wildlife! and started an NGO called Wimok to promote and support wildlife conservation programs. This new path took her to the Mayan Riviera where she worked as a Nature Guide collaborating hand in hand with biologists and local communities in the conservation of flora and fauna of the region. Today she is in Canada guiding our tours. @LorenaGaral
