Definitely the best project I've ever worked on, Cap is an amazing person, a great sage! I miss him, his family and Pichuca ❤️ I recommend it, it's a unique experience living by the river, getting to know the local culture and the riverine Indigenous communities, we won't be the same after this experience.

My experience in the Eco Río project was very enriching. I developed the environmental education project plan and learned a lot in the process. Mr. Ivar was like a grandfather to me: a very flexible, welcoming, inspiring, and always responsible person with me. From the first day he made me feel at home. The project has a very strong human side, which makes the difference. We shared stories and made videos and photos. I already feel a lot of nostalgia for him, for his family, and for his little dog. I hope to return and also welcome him to Fortaleza to continue sharing learnings.

Vanesca, you are a wonderful person; your help was very important in the project we carried out. I hope that in the future I am lucky enough to have volunteers like you. If that is the case, rest assured that we will fulfill our purpose of helping others selflessly and that we can all live in a free world, surrounded by Mother Nature who feeds us with the energy we need to move forward. Follow your path and all the doors will open for you.

Jonathan, sorry for not having written at the time about the impression I have of you. I am very grateful for the support received, and with you I came to know your country in the most beautiful way. When someone tells the story with the emotion you shared, the beauties of Ecuador come alive. Someday I will visit you, and continue being the good person who made me happy and whom I had the pleasure of meeting. Keep pursuing your dreams.
