Tsachilas de Santo Domingo and Damuintaro Huaorani Project. If you have a few extra days and would like to to experience and authentic journey back in time with one of the most vibrant communities of Ecuador than send us a message. Programs start at about $50 per day and include meals, activities and accommodation.
If you are more adventurous and have more of a budget than we would recommend visiting the Huaoranis of Damuintaro. This is an experience of a lifetime. Just getting there is a trip in itself. Taking local buses from Quito through the Andes past Banos and arriving in a small town called Shell. From there a 30 minute flight in a 3 seater plane is waiting to take to the village of Damuintaro. Here you will find one of the last true warriors of the Huoarani tribe called Peke. This Elder provides a wonderful lens into the life of this often misunderstood tribe. With the challenges of COVID we are working towards providing a safe experience for everyone involved.
So let the Galapagos Amazon Experts help guide you into an unforgettable experience. Explore our website and know we are just a click away to answer any questions.

I had booked 2 trips with CarpeDM, first one had been 7 days cruise around Northern Part of Galapagos and the second one was 5 day trip to Cuyabeno... read more Caiman Lodge. Booking the Cruise, Consuelo had taken on board on where I wanted to go and it took her few weeks to find the perfect cruise for me and I was missing out due to working away in the Amazon. Once the payment was made, she had made sure my flight was booked and advised me where to go for my PCR test also informed me last min change of the cruise. I had booked the Caiman Lodge for 5 days but left a day early due to the guild not being that great but the Lodge it self was great. Consuelo is a great travel agent, throughout my 3.5 months, I could always message her on advise on my travels throughout Ecuador even tho it had nothing to do with a booking and she would always go out her way to help you regardless of the time, on which I'm really grateful for. They also do free walking tours from Secret Gardens, which I've done 2, It's a good way to meet other travellers and you learn some history about the city. I've done both trips with Alejandro who is a great guild and can advise you on other parts of the country to visit to. If you have any Questions feel free to message me. Gram Pan2723

He gave us the chance at... read more a local market to taste lots of fruits, with our stomachs full we visited a local family where ginneapigs lived in the house.

Could not recommend more highly! We were in Quito and did a day trip to Mindo. Our guide, Alex, was amazing. He was a wealth of information... read more and went far out of his way to show us everything we wanted to see. We zip-lined, went to the butterfly museum, did a chocolate tasting and learned how cocoa beans become chocolate. We also did a cable and hike to a waterfall. We really wanted to hit the equator museum on the way back and Alex made sure we got there -- we were running behind and he called to make sure they would stay open for us. Along the way, he gave us a great sense about Ecuador. Alex even helped us order pizza on the way home . He said that "no" was not in his vocabulary and that turned out to be true. The whole operation was so easy -- they even took us to the airport on our way out. The bus was comfortable, the driver safe, and it was just overall a fabulous trip -- our favorite activity in Quito. Thank you Alex and CarpeDM!
