Over 10 years ago G Adventures (Formerly Gap) began working with a local family in the Ecuadorian Amazon to develop a community-based tourism program where travellers are given the opportunity to experience daily life in the jungle, with Delfin Pauchi, his wife Estela and their six children.

When we first started working in this community, children had to walk several hours to get to school but with funds generated through our community-based tourism program and the rest donated by community members, a school was built which now supports children between the ages of 6 and 12.

Through Planeterra and traveller support we have continuously contributed to the development of the community school with donations going towards school supplies, teaching materials, providing drinking water and the construction of a kitchen and eating area.

Special information

  • This is a custom departure, meaning this trip is offered on dates that you arrange privately with the provider. Additionally, you need to form your own private group for this trip. The itinerary and price here is just a sample. Contact the provider for detailed pricing, minimum group size, and scheduling information. For most providers, the larger the group you are traveling with, the lower the per-person cost will be.
