Start your adventure
We will start our adventure in El Coca City, where we will drive through the Auca road for two hours to the Shiripuno River, the entrance to the Yasuni.
From here, we start our kayaking adventure. We will traverse along the meandering Shiripuno River.
While you enter the Yasuni, you can enjoy the lush green sea of rainforest and its unique inhabitants since you will likely get a good look at some of the different animal species that live in this magical place. You can find toucans, macaws, and monkeys along the way.
After a four-hour expedition, you will finally arrive at our eco glamp’s cozy installations. Our carefully selected staff will greet you, and you will have a welcome dinner at 7 p.m.
Meals included: Lunch, Dinner.
Unveil the secrets of the Yasuni
We start our journey early, before 6:00 a.m. We’ll go on a navigation trip through the misty Shiripuno River. You might spot toucans, macaws, monkeys, tapirs, or capybaras here. We then enjoy breakfast at 8:00 a.m. before joining Gaba —a respected Waorani Warrior and Chief— for a 4-5 hour trek focused on wildlife, survival skills, and ethnobotany, including a visit to a clay lick.
We’ll then have lunch and rest at noon, returning to Gaba’s home in the afternoon to explore Waorani art made with natural materials. We’ll enjoy dinner around 7:00 p.m. before wrapping up the day.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
After this experience, we’ll head back to the Glamp before 6:00 p.m. On the road back, we’ll take advantage of the darkness to spot caimans and observe nocturnal wildlife. Low river levels attract jaguars, capybaras, caimans, and turtles, making it an exciting time for wildlife sightings. Enjoy dinner to give adventure a rest for the day.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Nature and culture in one place
Begin your day with breakfast at 7:00 a.m. From the morning until lunch, you’ll engage in various activities, including scout walks and paddling in oxbow lakes. On our journey, you might spot the majestic Eunectus akayina, the largest anaconda species.
Lunch will be served around 2:00 p.m., followed by some rest. In the afternoon, enjoy a heartfelt farewell with the Waorani family, featuring traditional chants, stories, and ceremonial dances, providing a memorable end to your experience.
Meals included: Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner.
Take the secrets with you
We’ll get up at 4:00 a.m. for an early departure to Shiripuno Bridge. Enjoy a light breakfast as you glide gently along the river during the return canoe ride, and be sure you keep your memories and belongings with you. This is the end of your adventure with us. From there, a 2-hour drive will take you back to El Coca and have your departure.
Meals included: Breakfast.
