Yasuni Explorer
Our journey begins in El Coca. We’ll travel along the Auca road towards the Shiripuno River. It will take us approximately two hours to get to this doorway to the Waorani territory. We will enter the Yasuni there, and you might even encounter some of its inhabitants on the way to the campsite. Wao Safari Camp is located at the entrance of Gaba’s Territory. Gaba is an elder Waorani warrior. Before wrapping up the day, we’ll visit Gaba and then return for dinner.

Wao Kamp.We start our day early at 6:00 a.m. We’ll embark down the river while the mist dissipates. We’ll see how the forest awakes —the best opportunity to spot birdlife. This bird-watching activity will last for a good couple of hours. When we return, we’ll have breakfast at 8:30 am, followed by a hike in the forest with Gaba to learn about the surrounding plants and some survival skills. This morning trail, used by generations for hunting, will last 4 to 5 hours and lead us to an animal clay lick. After lunch and some rest, at 4:30 pm, we will paddle down the river in search of wildlife such as toucans, macaws, turtles, and monkeys. We will return at night to spot caimans and nocturnal wildlife such as deer, capybaras, or even jaguars. Dinner will be served at 8 pm.
