New Review from tripadvisor on Huella Verde, Thank you Ine for the good review

“Peaceful stay in the rainforest”

Reviewed October 27, 2012 NEW

I stayed four days, three nights, in Huella Verde: very far away from the busy world, just relaxing and enjoying nature at the fullest :-).
The owner Cristof is a really nice guy, who immediately makes you feel at home, and he is an excellent cook: consequently, the food was delicious! The restaurant is clean, cosy and has a beautiful view; the private cabanas with bathroom, terrace and hammocks are very peaceful and comfortable.
The 4 hours walk in the rainforest with the native guide was beautiful and educational; the village of Canelos is authentic and interesting; the cacao tour resulted in a yummie hot chocolate.
I was really really very pleased with my relaxing stay in this special place, surrounded by a beautiful rainforest with loads of beautiful insects, frogs, spiders, plants, trees and flowers.
Very very recommendable!

Combat des peuples d'amazonia au brésil

Intéressant reportage de la TSR sur l'Amazonie et ses indiens

Dans les années 80, la grande tournée du musicien Sting avec le chef indien Raoni a popularisé le combat des peuples d'Amazonie pour leur survie. Mais la construction d’un des plus grands barrages du monde au coeur du Brésil et l'avidité des grandes compagnies minières menacent aujourd'hui définitivement leur existence. Temps Présent est allé recueillir le témoignage de ces Indiens en sursis.

A la fin du XVIème siècle, il y avait plusieurs millions d’Indiens sur les territoires que l’on a appelés le Brésil. Ils ne sont aujourd’hui plus qu’une centaine de milliers. Ils ont perdu en grande partie leur liberté, leur santé, leurs terres, leur confiance en eux-mêmes. Le sort de ces communautés intéresse peu les autorités brésiliennes à la recherche avant tout de croissance économique. Qu’est-ce que quelques milliers d’individus, réduits trop souvent à n’être que des survivants de civilisations anciennes, au regard des centaines de millions de consommateurs brésiliens et aux entreprises internationales, qui convoitent ces territoires échappant encore à l’exploitation intensive des richesses de leurs sols et sous-sols?

Les défenseurs amérindiens sont aujourd’hui menacés pour leur engagement en faveur du droit à la terre de leurs peuples, menacés en raison de leur résistance contre l’exploitation des richesses du sous-sol et de la forêt amazonienne. Temps Présent a rencontré des défenseurs Indiens Yanomami contre les chercheurs d’or, et des défenseurs Kayapo luttant contre la construction du barrage de Belo Monte. Parmi eux, deux leaders : David Kopenawa et Megaron Txukarramae. En entrant en résistance, ils sont déjà désignés par certains comme des cibles à abattre.

“Unique forest retreat”
Reviewed August 13, 2012

Just spent 2 nights/1 day in Huella Verde with friends, and had a wonderful experience!
The unique aspect of Huella Verde is that it is not an all-inclusive package formula like the majority of the Ecuadorian jungle lodges. You can arrive there by yourself (car or public transport), and you are completely free to choose your activities, food, … You only pay for the things you pick and the prices are unbeatable! We had some of the best food during our trip.
Huella Verde is also a very small lodge with only 2 very clean, spacious and comfortable cabanas which can lodge around 8 people in total. So you will never be there with big groups of people. The tranquil and remote jungle feeling is guaranteed. The owner, Christof, is a very enthusiastic and attentive host who will spoil his guests. He will make sure you get the most out of your visit!
We did a half-day forest walk with a really good native guide who showed us all the medical and other uses of the plants growing around. After a refreshing swim in the river and a hammock-siesta, we went to visit a place in Canelos-town where women showed their traditional ceramic techniques: a special and personal encounter.
Hope to come back one day and will definitely recommend this place to friends.

NEW REVIEW ON TRIPAVISOR

“Two days of jungle dream:)”

Reviewed July 8, 2012Dagmar and Christof have carefully taken care of all the comodities to enhance your stay in the ecuadorian Amazon. There is a feel of love in everything they created. It was great to exchange experience and funny stories with them. There are different possibilities in taking tours...from getting into the virgin part of the jungle to a cacao plantation tour which for me was really special. Get to know it for yourself, I loved it and will be back for sure. Thanks guys:)

mientras que las mujeres, que también usan vestidos occidentales, mantienen el adorno y la costumbre de pintarse el rostro en ocasiones festivas.
