We had such a wonderful time on our 3 day tour here. Everybody who we encountered was very kind and knowledgeable, including all our drivers!
Our driver from Quito to Tena was perfectly on time and very wonderful. My Spanish is okay but I’m definitely a little slow and I was certainly rusty since we had just gotten to the country. The driver was very nice and patient, he spoke slowly and told me so much about the country. A lot of our conversation was unprompted. He told me about the climates, the people, the culture and he even gave us some tips on things to avoid - like stray dogs. He told us his favorite things about Quito as well. It was really nice to be able to talk with him.
Soon enough we were in Tena and ready to white water raft. The river was beautiful, as were the forest and the people. We really enjoyed our time on the rafting. Again we had the opportunity to learn about the culture and nature. We got to swim in the river. We went through some amazing rapids. They had a wonderful and delicious lunch for us which was full of fresh vegetables. They also took amazing photos for us. It was such a nice time, we are very happy for the opportunity!
Our time at the eco lodge was tranquil and beautiful. The flora is absolutely beautiful. There are so many beautiful plants and flowers to see. There’s a tarantula there as well, although we weren’t fortunate enough to meet it. There are many birds with so many interesting songs. The oro pendala is particularly amazing! I’ve never heard a bird song like that before. At night you can walk around the forest and see the nature then as well. The walking paths are very nice and the forest is just magnificent.
The waterfall hike was great too. We opted for the longer hike. The forest is so interesting and wild. Although we didn’t get to encounter much wildlife - for that you either have to be lucky or go deeper - but we learned about many plants and swam at the last waterfall.
Making chocolate was also very interesting and delicious!
There’s so much more I can say but I’ve already written a novel. I can tell you that this company cares about their guests. They will take care of your needs. They will help in anyway that they can. The guides and everyone they work with are prompt, so you will be on time. If you’re lucky, they may offer additional experiences as well. This tour is what you make of it, and you’d have to try to have a bad time if that’s what you want. I would recommend this experience 100 times over, it was worth every penny. Thank you for everything!
