About the trip
This six-night journey with G Adventures begins in Quito before heading east to the Amazon rainforest surrounding Tena. Accommodation is straightforward: a rustic jungle lodge where shared facilities and limited electricity underline the remote setting. The focus is on living alongside a Quichua family, learning their traditional practices and participating in daily activities such as jungle walks to waterfalls, canoe trips to animal rescue centres, and blowgun demonstrations.
Away from the cities, the tour embraces a slower pace, giving time to notice details like the absence of mobile signals or the local family's cooking routines in the communal lodge area. Alongside natural highlights, there’s a shaman ceremony and a cultural evening featuring a jungle marriage ritual, offering insight into customs rarely encountered by visitors. Transportation involves buses, motorised canoes and walking, fitting for the Amazon terrain. The group stays small, with a maximum of sixteen travellers and local guides, providing a considerate environment to appreciate the rainforest and its people.
