Welcome!!!!
Yasuni National Park
Here
is some information you might find helpful about our trips.
We
visit the Noneno, Boanmo , Bameno and Waorani Communities on
our trips. We have agreements with these groups to allow
tourists to visit their communities. These communities are
pleased to offer you an opportunity to experience their
customs, food, culture, and history. You can expect late-
night conversations, where the locals will share their myths
and legends with you.
Please be aware we cannot visit groups who have never had
contact with outside world. In general, the groups we visit
are comprised of both elders and younger members . Many of
the elders continue to follow their traditions, such as in
clothing and beliefs, while the younger members tend to wear
western dress and have adopted more modern customs.
We
also tailor trips for birders, as the surrounding jungle is
rich with numerous species of birds. Our native guides are
very knowledgeable about the birds you will see and hear.
PLANNING YOUR TRIP
We
can arrange trips to suit your needs, and you have options
for the length of your trip. Most people usually fly to
Quito and take a flight to Coca. There are several flights a
day and the round trip costs $119.60. It is best to book
your return to Quito a day after you arrive back in Coca
from the jungle as the areas you are travelling are remote
and delays can occur. Our company cannot assume
responsibility for missed international flights in the event
your return to Coca is delayed. Expect the unexpected!!!
WHAT
TO BRING and RECOMMENDATIONS
We
supply basic camping gear, such as tents, eating utensils,
and food is included in the cost of your trip. Rubber boots
must be worn when walking in the jungle. We are able provide
boots for sizes up to 43, if your feet are larger, you will
need to purchases them here. They are relatively
inexpensive, As it often rain every day, and squalls can be
quite strong, a full sized rain poncho is advised. Please
also bring a good working flashlight and extra batteries. A
utility knife is also suggested. Sunscreen and insect
repellant are essential. A hat to protect from the sun is
recommended as well. It is suggested you wear dark clothing,
such as black, dark blue and green, as red or white seem to
inhibit the wildlife, as these colors stand out in the
jungle environment. Ziplock plastic bags or dry bags are
recommended to protect your items such as cameras, passports
etc from river water or rain. Other items you may want to
bring are binoculars, socks and long lightweight pants (for
protection from mosquitoes ),sandals, and swimming suits,
as well as your personal items.
WHAT
YOU WILL SEE
It
is possible you will see a variety of wildlife, such as
numerous species of birds, reptiles,amphibians, fish,
insects and mammals. For example, caimans and parrots are a
few of the more commonly viewed wildlife, as well as
brilliantly colored butterflies. Other species you may
encounter include River Otters, Pink River Dolphins, and
Monkeys.
ADDITIONAL COSTS
You will need to
pay (in addition to the cost of your trip) entrance fees
into the National Parks and permits. There is a charge of
$20.00 per person, for each community you visit, that goes
to the community, and a $3.00 per night charge to sleep in
the park. It would be much appreciated if you are able to
send these funds prior to the start of your trip, so all of
your permits are in order when you arrive.
