The Experience

The eco-comunity is nestled in a picturesque valley with rolling green hills and abundant vegetation. The air is fresh and crisp, and the area receives ample rainfall, contributing to the thriving ecosystem.

My experience there was different than the description says, but it was fine for me! I spend my time with one of the hosts in Tena and it was more like a couchsurfing. But Manuel and Jeyson were so nice and kind. I met them both and I had a good time. They know a lot about the Amazonas, plants, animals and for me it was a really local experience! And I talked about the project in the Amazonas and I saw pictures; it seems really nice!
