The coliving is an enviromnetally-aware education foundation serving indegenous Amazonians to preserve thier environment through Education. Located a few km outside Tena. The exprience, accomodation and hospitality was really good. Teaching resident students English was rewarding. It is organised as a community living where everyone contributes to the daily tasks. It was a really good experience. Highly recommended

I spent 3 weeks in Pakachka the coliving and, although they went by very quickly, I feel I was able to do many things: teach English to the community's students and to the nearby school's students, adapting to each level; visit the region; meet Byron's family; talk with the students and learn more about their culture; participate in community life; eat delicious food and learn local recipes.

Also, the house is beautiful, super calm and in the middle of the jungle, a paradise! And with two adorable little dogs! I will return the next time I go to Ecuador. Thanks for everything!! ☺️ 🫶🏼
