Sacred waterfalls Umbuni
We begin the trip at 8am by travelling
to the entrance to the waterfall (30 minutes from Tena
by car).
After 20 minutes of walking and
learning about local plants and animals of the secondary
forest, we arrive at a giant waterfall where we cleanse
our bodies and spirits and perform offering to the beings
of the waterfall. This place is famous for its shamanic
power.
We walk back and pay a visit to
a local family where traditional food will be prepared
for us - organic chicken or fish with yuca, rice and
wayusa (vegetarian or vegan food also possible).
After resting a while, we take
a different trail, and after 20 minutes of walking arrive
at the upper part to visit a smaller waterfall where
we can again purify ourselves and make offerings.
We visit a small cave closer to
the waterfall, where you can see huge fossils of cephalopods
and trees, touch stalactites and observe claw spiders.

Full day trip, rather short not too difficult, with
