      About this trip

      DIG INTO THE DENSE TROPICAL JUNGLES OF SANTO DOMINGO DE LOS TSACHILAS, LEARN ABOUT THE MYSTICISM AND WAY OF LIFE OF AN IMPORTANT ECUADORIAN INDIGENOUS GROUP


      Program focus: Earth's climates, weather patterns in different areas of Ecuador, indigenous peoples, team building, outdoor adventure, traditions and cultures based on narratives 


      On this 5 day/4 night retreat, we will explore a new climate zone only a few hours away from Quito.  About 20 kilometers from Santo Domingo towards the coast lies the unique communities of the Tsachila, of which  only 7 communities remain intact.  

      While living alongside one of the indigenous communities of the Tsachila, we will have the opportunity to help with sustainability projects, agriculture, traditional building, and/or other service projects, depending on the needs of the people.  We will also get the chance to learn about the tropical rainforests and their medicinal properties, traditional fishing, camp under the canopy, enjoy authentic meals, and participate in traditional ceremonies.

      Thank you so much for an amazing trip! Our daughter came back excited, confident, and ready for her next adventure. We couldn't be more happy with the experience she had in visiting with locals, learning about the culture, and helping the residents of Costa Rica. This was the trip of a lifetime for her, and we are so grateful she was able to have this experience.

      My son had a fantastic and life-changing time on his trip to Costa Rica. I would highly recommend anyone do this. He learned, and did service projects; he saw amazing animals. Really just amazing!

      The trip was quite well done. The students were able to experience a vast array of Costa Rican Rain Forests, and interact with a variety of people.
