This trip was very well-organized, and so much fun! Our guide, Edison, was amazing. He brought the right amount of humor and knowledge to the trip. It was challenging, but in the best of ways! Each day was so different too, with hiking in the rainforest in the rain/wading through the river and having to hold our bags over our heads was definitely a highlight! The food was all so tasty, and just exactly what we'd hoped for this experience. Will definitely be recommending to any friends who visit Ecuador!

We spent almost 2 weeks doing different tours through Akangau. We did the route of the dreams, the grand canyon, the caves, the river rafting, a multi-day cultural experience, and the Ayahuasca shaman experience. Belén was my contact, she was always very responsive, friendly, helpful. We had a different guide on the day we did route of the dreams, Efraín was great, very knowledgeable about plants in the jungle and gave us so much interesting information about the local culture. For the remainder of our days, our guide was Daniel. Daniel is such a great guy, he took great care of us. Extremely knowledgeable about plants in the area, about the cultures and beliefs, and very extensive knowledge of the jungle. We learned so much from our time doing these different trips, we had many meaningful and interesting cultural interactions. By the end, we didn't want to go and Tena may be our favorite place in Ecuador. In fact we are thinking about volunteering to work with Akangau in the future.

Had a great time, our guide Moskito shared his infectious passion for an amazing place we will definitely be coming back to!!
