Deep rainforest: Taisha and Achuar culture
For travellers seeking the authentic: a 60-metre waterfall in the heart of the rainforest and a light-aircraft flight to the Achuar community of Wachirpas.
The most remote experience in the province. On day one, visit the Samikim waterfall in the Macuma area: a drop of about 60 metres with a crystal-clear natural pool where you can swim.
From Taisha, a flight of about 25 minutes in a light aircraft takes you to Wachirpas, where the Achuar community welcomes visitors with its traditional greeting, its food and its way of living the rainforest. This is community-based tourism: your visit directly supports the community.
Before you go
- Arrange the Wachirpas visit and the flight in advance; everything works by reservation.
- Travel light: light aircraft have luggage weight limits.
- Respect the community's customs and ask permission before taking photos.
