CULTURAL TOURISM ECUADOR

The Andean mountains of Ecuador cut through the country forming enormous valleys and are home to tribes of indigenous Indians that still maintain their way of life. Their towns consist of narrow cobbled streets, quiet plaza’s, 19th century architecture and domed churches make, whilst their markets have played an important role in Indian life, providing regular gathering places for trade and socialising. Ecuador is a charming step back in time
In Ecuador we believe you have one of the best opportunities for an authentic non-intrusive experience with local people and this can be done by visiting the Huaorani tribe. The Huaorani are a timeless tribe. Their origins are unknown and their language (Huaorani translates as ‘The People’) has no relation to any other known tongue.

For thousands of years they have made their home in the lush forests of the Amazon. Here you will get to spend time with local people, either exploring their land with a local guide, or taking time to visit their tourism initiatives, which often work to support their traditional lifestyle.
