So what did we discover ...... their blow-pipes are enormous and we never expected to learn how to shoot the darts with such accuracy; a machete in the hands of the Huaorani chief could be used like a delicate craft knife; how endearing the young children are when they peer at you out of the long grass as the plane... more

Not for the faint of heart, this is a no frills, no air conditioning, no stores, no pampering, no hot water experience of a lifetime. It was the best part of my trip to Ecuador and as others have said, it made more of an impression on me than the Galapagos. Meeting the Huaorani people and seeing how they live... more

My stay at Huaorani EcoLodge was one of the best and most memorable experiences of my life and what I experienced there has stuck with me in a profound manner ever since. We were allocated a lovely guide Eme and his canoe helper Yeme for our entire stay. The food was lovely, using natural produce where possible. The lodge is... more

My trip to Huaorani Ecolodge in September was one of the most amazing holidays I have ever experienced. I have travelled quite extensively, but this was truly a life changing experience.

The lodge is deep in the jungle, accessible by an hour-long flight out of Shell and then a canoe trip down the river. The Huaorani are... more

Staying here was the highlight of our 4½ weeks in Ecuador. Not even The Galápagos could compare! Poling in a canoe along the Shiripuno River, the only sounds the gurgle of water, the call of birds and the swish of paddles – heaven! You can fly in (weather permitting) or canoe - it's a LONG WAY from anywhere! When our... more
