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 two fantastic experiences with CarpeDM, the Cuyabeno Amazon trip and the Cotopaxi hike. Paul and Angie were very helpful and both spoke perfect English while also allowing me... read more to practice my terrible Spanish. If you’re going to the Amazon, you must stay at Tucan lodge! It was truly a once in a lifetime experience. My guide, Carlos, was absolutely incredible! He was able to spot animals I would have never seen and perfectly imitate their calls which allowed us to see: a family of otters, many species of monkeys, and rare birds, all because he drew them in with his calls. Also, the lodge itself is great with nice, modern facilities and hot showers! The Cotopaxi hike was also a blast. The guide allowed us to go around your own pace as the altitude was very difficult for us. He helped me get lots of great photos too! I highly recommend CarpeDM for anyone looking to get the most out of their trip to Ecuador! …

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

The tour started early in the morning with us getting picked up from the hostel in a nice and comfortable truck. On the way to Cotopaxi, our guide Lincoln told... read more us about the history of Ecuador, Quito, and the Cotopaxi region (in great English!).
We stopped for a good and plentiful breakfast in view of Cotopaxi, before driving up the volcano to the parking lot. The hike up to the refuge hut at 4864m was taxing but beautiful, and Lincoln told us more about local wildlife. From the parking lot, we made our way down the volcano on bikes, with helmets, knee/elbow pads, and gloves provided. Lunch at at the same restaurant was just as tasty, before returning to Quito.
Overall, this was a breathtaking (literally) tour with a friendly and patient guide. There were plenty of great photo opportunities, and biosecurity measures were followed. While not cheap, this tour was excellent value for the price and we highly recommend Lincoln.

My friend and I stayed at Secret Garden Hostel and wanted to check out Quito sights. We found about a city tour with Fernando and went to it without too... read more many expectations. It turned out to be one of our best experiences in Ecuador so far! Fernando knew all the historical and modern facts about the city and the tour was even better with interactive parts such as fruit tasting, local candy products, city markets and much more. You wont regret going on this tour!
Thanks once again Fernando!

I did the free walking tour with Fernando that meets at the Secret Garden Hotel. This was seriously the best free walking tour I’ve ever been on! Fernando took us... read more all around old town, even getting us past the barriers that were up due to a protest. He brought us to all the best places to sample the specialties of Quito, and even showed us a few salsa moves. I learned so much about the history and culture of Quito and Ecuador!
