First Day. - We fly from Quito to Coca with an estimated arrival time at 9h30 a.m. From the airport, we travel to  Hotel San Fermin for a brief discussion of our upcoming trip, before we travel by  private car to the Shiripuno bridge (2 1/2 hour drive, 90 km).  Please note that in order to protect the Waorani, it is now obligatory that we have a brief medical check up before entering their territory.  It is important that all our guests have proof of vaccinations (e.g. Yellow Fever) before we are permitted to travel down the Shiripuno to the village of Ñoneno. Depending on water levels, we should arrive at Ñoneno within about 2 hours.  Here our Waorani hosts are more than happy to share their lives and culture with their new visitors.  We set up camp in this Waorani village located a days boat ride from Yasuni National Park.  Look forward to an interesting evening in cultural exchange as the Waorani show us their traditional dances and music.

Second Day. - After breakfast, we travel with the Waorani to a waterfall and after a hard climb, you will have an amazing view of the surrounding forest high above looking over the canopy below.  Afer a great lunch, you may then take a nap, go for a swim or simply take a walk around the community of Ñoneno. After dinner, we will meet with a few Waorani elders who will share some of their legends.

Third Day . - After breakfast, we say good-bye to the community but not before visiting all their houses and receiving a blowgun demonstration from a Waorani elder.  You may also attempt to try the blowgun.  We travel downriver for approximately 3 hours where we make camp along the river close to one of the largest ceibo trees in the region. In the afternoon, we fish for piranha and after dinner, we head out to look for caimans.  Don't forget your flashlight.

Fourth Day. - We wake up early in the morning  and paddle downriver to bird watch (Macaws, tanagers, caciques, oropendolas) or hopefully encounter mammals like tapirs, monkeys and capibara. After our early morning expedition, we return  to our camp site for breakfast.  Look forward to yet another amazing walk after breakfast as we hike another large hill.  When we reach the top, you will have an impressive view of the surrounding forest.  Red Howler Monkeys, Woolly Monkeys and White-bellied Spider Monkeys were seen on previous walks. After our 4 hour hike, we return for lunch and then begin our trip upstream.  We make camp once again along the banks of the Shiripuno River. 

Fifth Day .- After breakfast we make the return trip to the Shiripuno bridge and have lunch. A public bus will take us for the return trip back to Coca.   We arrive in Coca at approximately 4 p.m.
