Survival training with the indomitable Waoranis

KNOWLEDGE / ECUADOR

Survival is a personal challenge that we set ourselves to push our limits… but it’s also a pragmatic way of reconnecting with Nature, which provides us with food, water and shelter. Re-learn this connection, feel an integral part of this planet, feel part of a group united by the same goal… and accompanied by the Waorani, a people with thousands of years of knowledge, who still hold the keys to the link with the Great Whole.

This trip is accompanied by a renowned survival instructor and a member of his team, to share their knowledge with you in complete safety.

Program details day by day

We have chosen to break with the usual travel consumer habits by not sharing the day-by-day program with you, but rather a description of what awaits you, because we believe more in establishing a relationship of trust, from human to human. However, this detail may be communicated to you at a later date.

The Waorani continue to enjoy a reputation as formidable warriors, adapted to their environment and moving through the rainforest with the stealth of a jaguar. It’s with them, and with Tementa in particular, that you’ll learn the tricks of survival in the Amazon, accompanied by a renowned instructor who has traveled through numerous ecosystems around the world, compiling a practical knowledge of what it takes to survive in a hostile environment.
