A PACKAGE TOUR TO THE AMAZON REGION

Carlos wanted to travel to the Amazon region. He loves the animals, the plants, the jungle and the waterfalls‌he loves Ecuador! So he decided to visit Tena for holidays but he didn’t know how to plan all his trip.

PREMIUM AGENCY

He went to a travel agency for some help. The Premium Agency offers some tour packages around the Ecuador so it was the perfect place for him. In this agency there were a lot of brochures and information about the touristic attractions.

Carlos arrived to the agency in order to ask for some information. He talked about his plans, what he likes, how many days he was planning to stay and his budget. Daniela, the owner of the agency explained him all the details.

She showed him a map of Ecuador and some touristic attractions. She works as a tourist guide too, so she told him that the guidance was included in one of her tour packages to Tena, Cuyabeno and YasunĂ­.

Luckily, at that moment there was a delegation of the Amazon region in the agency. It was the perfect time to show Carlos what he was to going to visit and convince him to buy the tour package.

This is Sonia. She comes from the Cuyabeno and she is the owner of the lodge that is included in the tour package. She talked about the animals, the activities and how the shaman works in the jungle.

Carlos had the opportunity to try on some typical clothes of the region. He saw some instruments and medical plants that are used in the jungle and he learned about the food and beverages too.

YASUNĂ?

Daniela showed him some things about the YasunĂ­. She explained him that there are some local guides that will help him in her trip and that he has to bring clothes for fishing and rubber boots (recommendations).

After all the explanation, Carlos had to make a decision and think about the tour package. He asked for more details about the payment, the duration of the trip and he wondered about some security tips.

At the end, Carlos decided to buy the tour package to Tena, Cuyabeno and Yasuní and he paid $550 for 5 days all included. He left happy and with a package of brochures, maps and cd’s including some videos of the region.
