WildlifeTRIP OVERVIEW
With the Amazon camping expedition, you will have the Amazon Basin at your fingertips. It is the perfect adventure for nature lovers, jungle explorers, and wildlife watchers who would like to experience the untouched Amazon. You will discover Ecuador’s Amazon in the Yasuni National Park, world-famous for its tremendous biodiversity and its authentic indigenous cultures which are still very much alive. On this trip, while passing through rivers and lagoons, you will feel as if the animals are following you. You will see displays of parrots, toucans, macaws, kingfishers, herons, flying across the river, as well as curious giant otters who will approach the canoe to have a look. Many different types of monkeys will be jumping on the trees and there will be chances to spot jaguars, the master cat predators of the jungle. The Huoarani native people will share their history and we will learn about their rich connection with Mother Nature.
Flip to the Ecuador mainland and depart for the ultimate deep-Amazon expedition in a remote and untouched area of the UNESCO YASUNI Biosphere Reserve & National Park. Experience the tremendous biodiversity and wildlife of the reserve and connect with a native Huaorani tribe still living in the authentic and traditional way, while camping in the heart of the dense rainforest. Live the adventure as you promote long-term conservation and sustainability in two of the most precious, diverse ecosystems in the world!
Unique Experiences:
- Stay along the river shore in the heart of the Amazon rainforest and explore the jungle in the dark through an amazing night hike.
- Share time with native Huaorani people, hearing their stories and legends and learning about their traditions, which are still alive.
ITINERARY
Enter to another world
Our trip begins in El Coca. We will travel for 2 hours by car on the Auca road to the Shiripuno River. Once there we will embark on a motorized canoe, it will take us approximately 2 hours to reach this gateway to the Waorani territory.
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 Safari Camp’s cozy installations. Our carefully selected staff will greet you, and you will have a welcome dinner this evening around 7:00 p.m.
SERVICES INCLUDED
- 🏕️ Accommodation: Wao Kamp
- 🍽️ Meals included: Lunch, Dinner
We start our adventure early to seize the best of the day. You can enjoy a healthy breakfast at 6:30 am before heading to the river for a 30-minute paddle. After a 300-meter walk carrying the boats, you can explore and navigate through the Anaconda Lagoon. This amazing oxbow lake is a special ecosystem and home to the Eunectes murinus, the largest and biggest anaconda species.
Then, in the late morning, we continue our adventure with a canoe ride for around forty minutes to a second lagoon. Here, you can spot giant otters and other species. After this, depending on our time, we might explore a third lagoon.
Around 1:30 pm, we’ll enjoy lunch and rest a little before embarking on a unique cultural experience with the inhabitants of the National Park. Around 3:30 pm, we will go to Gaba’s house. Gaba is the head of his family and a community leader. With him, you’ll learn some local legends and be part of their culture. Learn how the Wao spears are crafted, and use a blow-dart to understand how they hunt and sustain themselves. You can also appreciate their local art and jewelry made from the surrounding materials.
After this experience, we’ll head back to the Camping area to wrap up the day—but not before having dinner at approximately 7:00 p.m.
