Prize:
Day 1: Depart London for Quito via Miami. Transfer to your hotel in the historic part of the city. Evening predinner presentation on The Huaorani and outline of your trip.
Day 2: Morning at leisure followed by a half day city tour of Quito with your English speaking guide.
Day 3: Head south through the famous ‘Avenue of Volcanoes’ to the town of Banos, the gateway to the Amazon Basin and then eastwards descending down to the frontier town of Shell in time for lunch. In the afternoon fly by small light aircraft (max. 5 passengers per plane) on a breathtaking flight over the rainforest to land on the grass landing strip at the Huaorani community of Quehueri'ono. Transfer to dugout canoes on the nearby Shiripuno River journeying downstream to the Huao Lodge, your base for the next 4 nights.
Day 4-5: Full days exploring the surrounding area with your Huaorani guide. Activities and excursions include daily guided walks through the forest learning about the flora and fauna, bird watching, visiting the local Huaorani community of nearby Quehueri'ono, evening stake-out at a tapir clay lick, wildlife viewing in some of the river’s many ox-bow lakes, swimming in The Shiripuno River, informal lessons involving traditional Huaorani life, from how to handle a traditional 8ft long blowgun, basket weaving, setting traps and building temporary shelters to carving a 10ft war spear from palm wood.
Day 6: Set off in dugout canoes down The Shiripuno to the Huaorani community of Nenkepare. En route you may stop at one of the many ox-bow lakes, where there is a good chance to spot the unique Hoatzin (the only leaf-eating bird in the world) and lurking caiman. Afternoon spent at the small community of Nenkepare and walking to a stunning waterfall hidden in the jungle where you can swim in the plunge pool, known to be frequented by tapir. Overnight in jungle camp.
Day 7: Continue downstream passing out of Huaorani territory and into the land of The Shuar people, the Huaorani’s traditional enemies. Exchange dugout for 4x4 vehicle and drive up the infamous ‘Via Auca’ to the town of Coca on the Napo River from where you will fly back to Quito and re-enter the 21st-century world. Final night in Quito.
Day 8: Transfer to the airport for return to the UK.
Day 9: Arrive back in London.
