A Remarkable Stay at Huaorani Eco Lodge
The Huaorani have long been inhabitants of the Ecuadorian Amazon. Living as gatherers and hunters, they had no contact with the outside world until the end of the 1950s when they were contacted by missionaries, who were later followed by oil companies seeking to exploit the wealth of oil present in the Huaorani territory. Although some territory was lost, the Huaoranis’ way of life remains much the same as it has for many centuries. Tourists looking for an experience that is truly out of the ordinary can gain insight into the lives of these extraordinary people by visiting the Huaorani Eco Lodge.
Selva Life Without Frontiers Foundation
The Selva Life Without Frontiers Foundation came together under the principles of conservation and maintaining a healthy balance between nature and humans. Even though their main goal is to continue conducting their research projects and fight for conservation rights of the rain forests, it is a non-profit organization that looks towards other initiatives to raise the funds to continue the vital work they do across Ecuador. In order to bring an income into the foundation, the Selva Life Without Frontiers Foundation offers visitors to Ecuador a variety of unique and unforgettable adventures, together with magical accommodation.
Adventure in the Town of Crucita
Crucita is a lovely seaside town, situated about a 50 minutes drive from Portoviejo, the capital city of the Manabi Province of Ecuador. A popular holiday destination, especially during carnival, the friendly people of Crucita welcome visitors to enjoy the long stretches of sandy beach, the sight and sound of an abundant variety of sea-birds, and the magnificent cliffs rising up from the beach situated south of the town that are considered by many to be the best in Ecuador for recreational hang-gliding and paragliding.
Pasillo – The Rhythm of Ecuador
The people of Ecuador are known to be friendly and hospitable. Their social gatherings and festivals will generally include music, often with pasillo featuring prominently. Although pasillo is also enjoyed in the mountainous regions of Panama, Venezuela and Colombia, this indigenous music is considered by many to be the national genre of music in Ecuador.
Eco-tourism at Beautiful Kapawi
Kapawi is located in Achuar Territory on the Pastaza River in the Southern Ecuadorian Amazon Basin near the border separating Ecuador and Peru. As one of the most isolated areas in the Amazon basin, Kapawi can only be reached by air. Achuar Territory, which covers an area of 5,000 square kilometers, is considered to have one of the highest levels of biodiversity on Earth and is fast becoming a popular eco-tourism destination.
