Enjoying an Eco city tour, canoeing around Bahía de Caráquez, volunteering at the Rio Muchacho Farm, swimming in the ocean.
Go beyond the typical family vacation in Ecuador and do something different while giving back. A true cultural immersion, this experience is comprised of a hands-on volunteer project in the coastal community of Rio Muchacho that is fun for the whole family. Help out at the local primary school and learn about sustainable agriculture. You'll also have the chance to spot exotic wildlife, ride horses and munch on sugar cane you've cut yourself. Give the family some fresh air and an authentic adventure they'll never forget. This tour gives you the chance to experience rural Ecuador and share in a different culture.
