ShuarHands, Inc provides travel opportunities for those who wish to participate in our humanitarian missions while experiencing adventures with experienced guides. We prefer to limit our tours to a maximum of ten participants, thus providing a more intimate exchange with the people and nature. Travel dates are designed for the traditional vacation times: spring (March/April) and summer (July/August) The price of the tours are reasonable. Price does not include round trip U.S. airfare, airport exit-security tax, some meals, suggested inoculations, flight insurance, personal items, and souvenirs.

 

We offer four tour options:

 

-Quito and the Galapagos Islands
-Amazon Rainforest in Ecuador with a humanitarian focus
-Quito, the Galapagos Island and Amazon Rainforest for a 14-day adventure!
-Antigua and rural Guatemala with a humanitarian focus

 

First you will tour Quito, an UNESCO World Heritage Site, and visit the Equator. Feel the pull of the two hemispheres while trying to balance an egg on a nail.
