About our story…
It can be traced back to the days when the Shiripuno River could be explored only by pitching tent camps along the beach.
Those adventures were carried out by Eugenia Nieto Sevilla, a true adventurous naturalist guide from several national parks in Ecuador.
Eugenia and her family, along with Lucia Nieto Sevilla and Patricio Cañadas, were the kick-starters of one of the most remote tourist facilities in the Yasuni Biosphere Reserve.
