Travel and Leisure Magazine has included the Huaorani Ecolodge in its list of Best Life-Changing Trips of 2010-2011.
I was one of the first group to ever stay at the lodge, and I have to agree that it is an awesome experience, and certainly fits the life-changing description. It is rare to get to spend time with an indigenous group who have retained their culture and pride, while still being open to sharing with outsiders. I highly recommend the Huaorani Eco Lodge for anyone interested in exploring the world through the eyes of a different culture.
From T&L:
“Stay in an eco-lodge situated at the headwaters of the Amazon and run by the Huaorani, one of the most isolated ethnic groups on earth: first contacted by the outside world only 55 years ago, they speak a language that is unrelated to any other.“
