1) your boat drivers are absolutely amazing. The way they maneuver those long awkward boats with people jiggling about in them is astonishing.
2) the food is fabulous. We feel well nourished and amazingly comfortable.
3) the "bed net fairies" are tremendous. The rooms are always clean and wonderful.
4) our guides (Sim'on and Sebastian) were so incredible that I have no words to describe what wonders they created.
In short, cudos to you all. What a wonderful, wonderful experience. Also, we were so happy to see Ruben again and thank you for keeping us up to date on the health of his son.
5) The Pilot! Wow! He's incredible.

This relationship was actually initiated by the indigenous elders and shamans themselves who, out of their deep concern for the growing threat to their ancient way of life, and their recognition that the roots of this threat lay far beyond their rainforest home, actively sought the partnership of committed individuals living in the modern world. www.pachamama.org MINTUR - www.turismo.gov.ec Rainforest Alliance - The Rainforest Alliance works to conserve biodiversity and ensure sustainable livelihoods by transforming land-use practices, business practices and consumer behavior. www.rainforest-alliance.org |
