ECUADOR, AMONGST THE HUAORANI PEOPLE OF THE AMAZON
Amongst The Huaorani People Of The Amazon
Overview
Discovery Initiatives feel privileged to be working on a joint programme alongside The Huaorani people to give you an extraordinary experience with them in their ancestral home on the Upper Shiripuno river. This is no ordinary ‘jungle lodge experience’ with ‘soft adventure activities’, but a gritty, authentic jungle and river journey well away from the usual trappings of everyday modern life. However, those willing to make this trip will be richly rewarded.
