Visa
With the exception of a few countries, travel visas are normally
not required for travellers entering into Ecuador with valid passports
and the immigration will normally stamp a 30 day stay when one enters
the country. When leaving Ecuador from the airports, a fee of $40
is charged. If you are interested in long/term stay and need more
information about various types of visa and their requirements,
visit Ecuadorservices.
Be careful if you obtain visa in your country - extra paperwork
(registration and censo) in Ecuador is required.
Vaccinations
We recommend that you consult a travel doctor to find out if you
should receive any vaccinations or anti-malaria medication. A good
source of information for tropical disease is the website of the
Center
for Disease Control and Prevention. Note that the risk of getting
malaria in the area around the city Tena is very small.
Safety
Ecuador is not dangerous, if you are careful and know what places
and situations should be avoided. We strongly recommend to be very
attentive and careful in Quito. Many people coming for ceremonies
from Quito report thefts of their backpacks, purses, luggages, clothes
and mobile phones. This can be easily prevented:
Do not roam the streets after the sunset
Travel by taxis with license number, not
by trolley or bus
Do not respond to people talking to you
on the street - make a few quick steps away
When travelling by bus from Quito to Tena,
do not put anything in the overhead compartment - put it below
your knees and lock it with your leg
Hand out your big luggages to the bus attendant
and point out that they are yours
Have your money and passport in purses
under your clothing, not in pockets
Do not carry large amounts of money in
your purse, have it on a safe place
Be watchful, listen to your feelings
If you are followed, take a taxi immediately
Caution when withdrawing money from ATMs
The town of Tena and its surroundings
are much safer and relaxed, but still be careful.

TESTIMONIES
"Attending
Jan's workshop in the Amazon is one of the best things I've
ever done in my entire life. Having participated and studied
in Shamanism the last 15 years, and lead many groups myself,
I was impressed (to say the least) at how Jan managed to take
care of every detail in way that made it all seem easy. Everything
that was promised was delivered, including incredible excursions
to places of power, excellent meals, and knowledge about the
plants. We also had just the right amount of free time to
be able to hang out (alone or with each other) and process
all the beautiful gifts we were receiving. The Shaman (Don
Lucho) was amazing; gentle and yet powerful, he was very available
to us, and we loved every minute of his presence. Since my
return, everyone has commented on the positive changes that
have taken place in me. A big, big thanks to Jan, Don Lucho,
and his family, who really did an excellent job taking care
of us all and sharing their incredible knowledge with us.
I feel I got incredible value for my money, and would go back
in a second, and recommend this experience to anyone sincerely
interested in personal growth." -Antonio A.,
