Itinerary
Uncover the heart of Ecuador’s Amazon on this 6-day adventure starting and ending in Quito. Travel to a remote and untouched area of the UNESCO Yasuni Biosphere Reserve & National Park and stay at Wao Kamp, surrounded by dense rainforest and winding rivers. Canoe journeys and guided jungle walks unfold at a relaxed pace, with incredible wildlife sightings woven naturally into daily life. Time spent with the native Waorani tribe, still living in the authentic and traditional way, adds cultural depth, while nights are filled with the sounds of the forest after dark. This is the ultimate deep-Amazon expedition!
