    I am a person who likes adventure, nature and meet new people. I am outgoing, social, I love sports and I love the place where I live. I belong to the Kichwa nationality of the Ecuadorian Amazon, I speak basic English and Amazonian Kichwa. My family is very quiet, kind. I develop this project, because it is a dream of mine since I was a child and with the collaboration of each one of you, I hope and hope to achieve it in the best way. It will be a very dynamic and fun environment, and I am sure we will have a great time. The place has beautiful landscapes, two rivers that join around the sector where the cabin will be located. There is a waterfall nearby and at night you can see the stars, the sound of insects and the jungle. A coexistence with people from the area, where they learn their customs and traditions.
