Brit backpacker lived with Amazonian tribe while travelling South America

[ad_1]

An adventure-loving Brit has told how he backpacked around South America - and ended up living with an Amazonian tribe. Marwan, 26, spent five days hunting with the tribe, hiking through rainforest and even eating small crocodile-like caiman. Marwan had been travelling in Costa Rica, central America, when he decided to fly down to explore Ecuador 800 miles away. Whilst he was staying in a hostel in Tena, Ecuador, he bumped into a local who started chatting about the country's Waorani tribe. The local said Marwan would be able to spend five days with the tribe so the pair set off on a nine-hour coach journey to Orellana, Ecuador. He said the tribe welcomed him with "open arms" and he ended up hunting with them. Marwan, from Wembley, London, said: "I didn’t know what to expect and I only seen them on tele. My first thought was that this is crazy. It was like being inside of a National Geographic programme. “I was itching to try something new, I couldn't wait to go hunting and explore the forest." After making the journey from Costa Rica to Ecuador, on the 2nd September 2024, Marwan spent the night in a hostel in the country's capital Quito. He made friends with other travellers and got chatting to a local who knew members of the Waorani tribe. Cost of the trip - £350 between three backpackers Plane: $220 Transport: $90 Food: $25 Hostel: $16
