Text that reads 'Meet an Ecuadorian Amazon Community' in bold yellow and white font on a black background.

Just 25 minutes from Puyo, the Shuar-Quechua community of Wayuri opens its doors to share the living traditions of the Amazon. In this immersive visit, you’ll be welcomed with warmth and guided through experiences that reflect their deep connection to the rainforest. Glide down calm rivers in a traditional canoe, learn about ancestral customs, and take part in symbolic rituals like face painting with natural pigments, a form of identity and storytelling passed down through generations. More than a visit, it’s a cultural exchange—an opportunity to connect, listen, and honor a worldview rooted in nature, resilience, and community.
