Stepping into the vibrant culture and breathtaking wildlife of Ecuador was a transformative experience for me. One unforgettable moment was exploring a local community in the Amazon, where I learned about sustainable practices that truly respect nature, while staying in a cozy lodge that felt like home. While some activities had a fair bit of walking, which could be a challenge, the connections I made with the locals and the mesmerizing rainforest more than made up for it.

Our group had an unforgettable time exploring the heart of the Amazon, especially when we witnessed a troop of playful monkeys swinging through the trees during one of our guided hikes. Each night spent in a cozy lodge surrounded by the sounds of the jungle truly connected us to the unique wildlife and culture of the area. The only downside was that some of the trails were a bit challenging, but the breathtaking views and immersive experiences made every moment worthwhile.

Exploring the Amazon with our family was truly unique, as we immersed ourselves in both wildlife encounters and local culture. While the meals were delicious and showcased authentic Ecuadorian flavors, we found some of the trekking a bit strenuous for our kids.
