Ecuador Cultural Experience: Local Living in the Amazon
Immerse yourself in a truly authentic experience of the Amazon Rainforest on this cultural adventure in Ecuador. Journey to a wildlife rescue centre by canoe and explore the scenery on jungle walks. From Quito, you’ll travel to your new home in the jungle and meet the Quichua family who will host you in their village for the next four nights. You’ll learn about medicinal plants and how to use a blowgun, experience a shaman ceremony, and walk to a jungle waterfall. Most importantly, you’ll befriend people few outsiders have the honour to even meet.
