Join in the Vibrant Atmosphere of Carnaval
As any one would expect, the Carnaval in Ecuador, is the Mardi-Gras of the country. It is a time for festivities and celebration, dance and music, food and color. But it is a celebration that has its roots in the history and tradition of Ecuador, and is therefore also a cultural celebration. In every city around Ecuador the celebrations begin early and carry on late into the night, with festival goers dancing through the streets, and the streets alive with joy and jubilation.

The Ricancie project, founded in 1993, is an initiative developed by the authorities of Ecuador, which involves a group of ten Quichua (or Kichwa) communities situated within the Grand Sumaco National Park Biosphere Reserve in the Upper Napo region of Ecuador. Based on respect for their environment and cultural heritage, these communities have established a unique ecotourism program that encourages responsible and sustainable development of their communities for present and future generations.
