Requested departure city

Embark on an extraordinary educational journey through Ecuador’s verdant highlands, lush valleys, and the famously enchanting cloud forest. In Yunguilla Valley, explore community-owned projects such as the local jam and cheese factories, witness the unique geological wonder of Pululahua Volcano, and experience local cuisine by immersing yourself in a blindfolded sensory dinner. On the doorstep of the Andes, in Tena, contribute to community reforestation efforts on previously-cleared land using a mix of modern practices and ancestral wisdom, while learning about the diverse species vital to any healthy forest. Conclude your adventure with a thrilling whitewater rafting excursion in Baeza, followed by a scenic hike alongside the Papallacta River, all before relaxing in the warm, mineral-rich waters of the hot springs nearby. Land restoration, personal growth, and Amazonian adventure converge on this misty sortie deep into the vibrant landscape of Ecuador–the only question is: how will it change you?
