Arrival and Rainforest Immersion
Your Amazon adventure begins at the Arajuno River bridge at 10:00 AM. From there, you'll embark on a scenic one-hour canoe journey upstream to our camp. After checking in and enjoying a refreshing cold drink, you'll be served a delicious lunch. In the afternoon, a short canoe ride takes us to the start of a two-hour educational trek. This guided walk is a fantastic introduction to the rainforest ecosystem, where you'll learn about its diverse flora and fauna. As dusk falls, we'll return to camp for a hearty dinner, followed by an evening of bonfire stories about shamanism and local folklore.

Get ready for an early start! We'll take a quick 10-minute canoe trip to a nearby parrot clay lick, a mesmerizing sight where dozens of colorful birds like dusky-headed and blue-headed parrots gather to consume essential minerals. After this unforgettable display, we'll return to camp for breakfast.
Later, you'll be welcomed by the local Kichwa community. This is your chance to see the positive impact of your visit by learning about the projects we support. You'll have the opportunity to participate in activities with the local children at their school.
Next, a group of Kichwa women will share their culture and traditions with you, including a hands-on demonstration of chicha making. Afterward, you'll enjoy a traditional lunch together. The afternoon is yours to relax by the river before we head to a nearby farm. There, you'll see the various products grown in the jungle and get your hands dirty making your very own homemade chocolate fondue. The day concludes with dinner.
