This experience was extraordinary! As someone who has never traveled, let alone by myself at a young age, I am thrilled at how organized and engaging everything was. The guides and family we stayed with were incredible. They were knowledgable about the culture, traditions, food, plants, and more! The accommodation was great as well as there were mosquito nets over the beds, running water, hammocks everywhere, and it was clean. The Quichua family that we stayed with was more than welcoming, they made us feel at home. Maria especially went above and beyond for a personal problem that I had, I can't thank her enough. The activities were so fun and allowed us to get a taste of what local living in Ecuador is like! Everyone and everything was incredible, 10/10 recommend.
Best experience, would do it again!
Wonderful to be in the jungle learning about local medicinal plants and others with practical uses. Ceremony with the shaman Delvin was a nice look at local culture.
Trip of a lifetime that G Adventures neatly created and packaged. I am sold on the company
See previous entry. In addition, this trip cuts to fundamental values. Respect the wonders of the environment and the people who strive to protect it.
Excellent.
Wonderful experience! Be ready to ask questions and understand the Amazon culture!!!
It was hectic and enjoyable. But we could not see many wild animals in the jungles, except for in the animal rescue center.
I?ve given a lot of 9s because Thu ga can always be better but the trip delivered exactly as advertised and was very good value for money.
LOVED IT! I would certainly try a similar tour again. I'm so grateful that we met people from different countries and built friendships.
