This experience was more than expected - in the best way. The Ortega family was welcoming, kind, and genuine. We were able to clean up the nearby beach, went to a local Talag festival, ate home cooked meals for every meal, met kind locals, created artisanal jewelry, swam in the river, practiced our Spanish, and much more. We have grown and learned so much from this experience. I could not recommend this project/family enough.

We had an incredible time staying with the Ortega family. They were super accommodating and welcoming. From the moment we showed up to when we left, we were made to feel like a part of the family. We learned so much about the indigenous culture from going on interactive hikes to making indigenous, artisanal jewelry. The food Marisol made for each meal was delicious and made using ingredients grown on their farm. The accommodations at Kaparik the reserve were more than expected, and the experience was truly life changing. Everyone we interacted with was truly genuine and kind-hearted.

Incredible experience! I learned a huge amount even in the short time I was here. It's a true way to connect with and learn about the local culture, food, and ways of living with little to no hand-holding. I can't think of a more sincere way to get in touch with kichwa traditions, live of the land, and contribute to an amazing project. I think this experience is something every person should take part in, but be prepared for a stark difference from any resort-ey vacation trip.

Marisol and Luis Octavio treated me like one of the family from the moment I arrived. I was delighted by the positive energy and happiness in the house, including other travelers there. I enjoyed taking part in everyday life from grinding cacao in the kitchen to cooking meals to chatting around the kitchen table. I also enjoyed the work- like learning how to weave leaves for a beautiful thatch roof we helped to build. On my last night there we had a very special experience together doing a cacao ceremony. I'd love to return to explore more of their land, which they are fighting to protect.

I had the BEST experience at the reserve. The Ortega family is incredibly kind and welcoming and I felt right at home. Marisol taught me about indigenous plant based medicine, nutrition, and cooking. The family grows everything from cacao, plantains, bananas, avocados, yuca, tomatoes, mandarin, fresh herbs and soo much more. We used the crops from the farm to cook at home & in the restaurant. Marisol helped me learn how to make artisanal jewelry, purses, and sew clothing. Their nephews & cousins all live nearby and always invited me on trips to waterfalls, rivers, hikes, etc. A great family!

Aunque breve, una muy buena experiencia. Conocer sobre el proyecto de Kaparik y participar ha sido una oportunidad fabulosa para desconectar del ritmo frenético del día a día, conectar con la naturaleza y conocer gente y costumbres locales. Gracias especialmente a la familia, que te hacen sentir en casa y son abiertos con todp el mundo.

No puedo expresar la felicidad que sentí al compartir con esta maravillosa familia. Desde el primer momento te hacen sentir como una más, hasta que con el paso de los días logré crear vínculos muy especiales con cada uno de los miembros de esta. Son realmente increíbles, llegué a sentir cantidad de emociones positivas, llegué a sentir que estaba en un hogar para mi; solo espero haberles aportado también muchas cositas buenas, las risas fueron innumerables. Estaré siempre agradecida por lo vivido y siempre tendrá la familia Ortega un hueco en mi corazón. Prometido: volveré.
