GIFT YOURSELF THREE ADDITIONAL DAYS FILLED WITH AMAZONIAN NATURE AND CULTURE
Extend your Feather Crown retreat by three additional days with excursions to the beauty of the surrounding area.
Make the most of your trip to the Amazon and visit more beautiful places, both tourist gems and places hidden from the tourist’s sight in untouched nature. Get an up-close look at the life and culture of the locals.
Venture with us into the native rainforest, experience the spirit of wild nature. There are still places in the world where nature is not dominated by human civilization and lives its own life. The Ecuadorian rainforest is one of these places. Although it may not always be so obvious today, man and nature are inextricably linked and human life is dependent on nature. One of the intentions with which we created this journey is to allow people to experience the beauty of the pristine forest, to understand the harmony and balance that exists here, to feel its life-giving energy. We hope that this experience will help you to better perceive nature and its importance in your home environment. Nature and the journey itself can also teach us a lot and help us to know ourselves better.
Guide Omar, who is also part of Feather Crown team, grew up in the forest and through him you will learn many interesting things and connect more easily to the spirit of the forest. You will also be accompanied by our facilitator and interpreter Barbara.
DATES: September 27-29, October 25-27, November 22-24
