Visit Arutam Forest Reserve or try a Shuar homestay
FUNDECOIPA offer a broad range of tourist activities. We manage the 2710 hectare Arutam Rainforest Reserve. The reserve is surrounding the Shuar community Arutam, which also provides an excellent opportunity to learn about the Shuar culture. Furthermore we can arrange visits to the nearby 500 hectare biological station, MUSAP and other neighbouring communities.
We offer both short and long term visits for individuals and groups. Home stays with Shuar families can also be arranged for visitors who want to stay longer and getting to know more about everyday life for the Shuar people.
Our guides always locals from the community and they know the forest, plants and animals very well as well of the use of the medicinal plants.
The Reserve can be visited by everybody, but longer treks into the forest interior requires the visitor to be in a good physical condition and able to cope with rustic living conditions and basic food.
Shuar homestays
For visitors who wish to spent more time in a Shuar community than the normal tourist we offer the opportunity to stay with a Shuar family for up to a month (possibly more).
This type of stay is for visitors who wants to unwind, read or write in a relaxed environment, while having the opportunity to participate in the daily activities of a Shuar family, learn about Shuar culture and the Amazon.
