Amazon Rainforest Ecotours with the Cofan - Join Us!

The Cofán began the first "community-based ecotourism" project in the rainforests of Northern Ecuador back in 1978 and we have been welcoming tourists on exotic amazon adventures ever since.

Read about our upcoming rainforest ecotour: Andes to the Amazon! - Summer 2012

Our tours expose you the marvelous world of the Amazon rainforest from our Cofan cultural perspective. Your guides are Cofan men and women who have lived in this environment all their lives, and understand it intimately.

You become part of the village as you sleep in our comfortable thatch roofed huts, travel in our long canoes, and eat our typical foods.

Trips can be tailored to the interests, physical abilities, and time limits of our visitors. In addition to our “standard” trip, a five to six day package aimed at introducing you to our varied Amazon ecosystems, we also handle several other options, such as the ones mentioned below.

Trekking

Canoeing

Canoe on beautiful and pristine streams, where the wildlife is tame and curious and time stands still…

Fishing

Fish for the famous piranha, or take on magnificent dorados and pacos for the sport fishing experience of a lifetime!

Biology and Ecology

We have thousands of plant and animal species, many of which are only found here. While every ecotourist is bound to see abundant wildlife during their stay, we offer the chance for students and professors to arrange special trips to complement their studies with hands-on experience.

Prices

Cofan ecotours are the most authentic of the jungle ecotours that are available through the multitude of tour and travel agencies in Quito.  Cofan ecotours are not your average ecotour! The remoteness of Zabalo means that you will spend your time in the deep rainforest and on remote rivers, not just outside the city.

Our amazon rainforest ecotours are run by and directly benefit the community, while offering the visitor a unique chance to stay in a real indigenous community. Our ecotours are provide an opportunity for us to share the Cofan reality, the beauty of the rainforest and threats to its survival, with outsiders.


Prices include:

• All transportation from your departure from Lago Agrio through your ecotour until your return to Lago Agrio
• Activities including guides and crew excursions
• Accommodations
• Meals for the duration of your stay.

We request a deposit for 50% of the total cost of the trip no later than one month prior to your arrival.

Due to the prohibitive cost of gasoline, we are unable to arrange trips for less than four visitors at a time. However, we are happy to help you connect with other travelers if you let us know when you are interested in visiting.

We do not recommend ecotours for fewer than 5 days.
