Some issues you need to resolve

Georgios_G, Mar 2026

I booked a tour with you to the Huaorani Indian tribes. In my application, I wrote that I wanted the tribes I visited to include not only the elderly people and young children, but also young people. I wrote this because I've heard from other tourists that recently they only show the elderly, while seven years ago they showed both young and old, which more accurately portrays tribal life. However, you didn't take my request into account and didn't convey it to the tour organizers. Your photo on the tour booking website doesn't correspond to reality. It's good that I spoke with the guide in advance and expressed my requirements, and he tried to rectify the situation. However, to do it the day before the trip to the Indians, wasn't easy. It turned out that I bought the tour based on the photo you were selling, but in reality, there were practically no young people... As for the lodge and the rest of the program, everything was fine.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Dear Georgios_G, Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your experience with us. We’re sorry to hear that your expectations regarding the Huaorani community visit were not fully met. We understand your interest in experiencing a broader representation of the community, including younger members. However, as these visits are based on real community life, the participation of individuals can vary depending on their daily activities and cannot be guaranteed in advance. That said, we truly appreciate your comment and recognize that your request should have been better communicated to our local team. We will take this into account to improve our coordination and clarity in future experiences. We’re glad to know that you enjoyed the lodge and the rest of the program, and that our guide did his best to assist you. We also value your observation regarding the photos and will review them to ensure they accurately reflect the experience. Thank you again for your trust and valuable feedback. Warm regards, Meloni Live Ecuador Travel Group
