Itinerary
Ecuador
Upper Shiripuno River - 4 days / 3 nights, plus 2 travelling
days.
The headwaters of the world’s mightiest river the Amazon,
flow east from the melting snow of the high Andes of Ecuador to
provide the rich flora and fauna that supports many thousands
of people. This is the home to some of the most bio-diverse ecosystems
of the world. Rich in endemic flora and fauna, this area has given
the world many of it’s modern medicines, and is the home
to many of the indigenous nations of South America.
The Quichua live and farm along the mighty rivers much as they
have for many hundreds of years, and the extensive Ecuadorian
National Parks help to preserve this important area. Many areas
of the rain forest are now threatened by the oil and logging industries
and the economic needs of an emerging nation. See it before it
disappears.

Ecuador
Huaorani leader, Moi
Enomenga, made famous by articles in the New Yorker magazine that told about
the Huaorani and their struggle against oil companies and for his appearance
as the main character in the book Savages by Joe Kane. We will visit his
community, Quehueri'ono, our counterpart in this joint venture. In addition,
his struggle to protect Huaorani land from oil companies is showcased in an
NBC documentary. If Moi is not taking care of his people struggle he might
join us during the tour as our local guide.
Our programme involves the exploration of both primary and secondary
rainforest in the company of our local guide and our own bilingual naturalist
guides. We stay in tents close to the community. Visitors thus experience and
learn about the Huaorani culture and their close relationship with the forest,
with the possibility of observing Amazon wildlife in the hikes and different
activities, and receive a conservationist interpretation of the ecology and
actual situation of the Ecuadorian Amazon rainforest.
In summary, this
programme creates a very unique experience which will take you to one of the
most ecologically important areas on the planet in the company of a unique
rainforest culture.
