“While I hoped my North American students could have an experience very close to living in a Waorani village, I never imagined that Tepapare would offer all the mystery of a virgin forest, the ancient ancestral knowledge of the Waorani and above all the peace that these people offered us. I will remember this visit forever.”

The experience of visiting a Waorani village.
Community tourism provides important alternative ways to visit our families and communities, different from conventional tours. We invite you to participate in the everyday life of Waorani families, as well as tourist activities like trekking and observing animals.
The Asociacion de Mujeres Waorani (the Association of Waorani Women) works with the Waorani communities Tepapare and Meñepare to offer and promote community tourism. We offer simple accommodations, in a large tent, in a school or in a house of one of our artisan partners. We invite you to prepare and eat typical food with us.
Because we don’t use a tourist agency, income from all our trips goes directly to Waorani communities. -
