7-Day · 6-Night Program
Rainbow Souls · LGBTQ+ Retreat in the Amazon Rainforest
A retreat for gay men and the LGBTQ+ community in the heart of the Amazon: waterfalls, art, celebration and real connections, far from the apps and the noise. Here diversity isn't tolerated: it's celebrated.
"Here, no one has to explain themselves or prove anything. Diversity isn't tolerated: it's celebrated."
A Safe Space
There are trips you tell stories about — and trips that change you. This is the second kind. A week in the heart of the Ecuadorian Amazon where adventure, art and human connection are lived to the fullest: waterfalls, fishing, canoeing, ceramics, painting, temazcal and nights of celebration under the stars.
Designed for the LGBTQ+ community and its allies, this is a safe, inclusive space where no one has to explain themselves or prove anything. Far from the apps, the scene and the noise, here connections are built by doing: paddling together, creating with your hands, overcoming challenges and sharing the fire.
Seven days packed with experiences — nature, creativity, wellness and real communication tools — in a small group (maximum 12 participants) with the freedom to participate at your own pace. An elegant, international and conscious experience, the kind only the rainforest can offer.
Pillar 01 · Adventure
The rainforest as playground
A hike and waterfall swim, traditional Amazonian fishing, sunrise bird watching, a canoe ride on Kawana Lagoon and trekking in the reserve. The rainforest doesn't judge: it invites.
The camaraderie born from overcoming challenges together creates bonds that outlast the trip.
Pillar 02 · Creativity
Art and expression with your hands
An Amazonian ceramics workshop with ancestral Kichwa techniques, painting with natural rainforest dyes, mask-making and creative writing. Creating with your hands what doesn't fit into words — and taking your piece home.
Every workshop is an invitation to play, express yourself and leave behind what you no longer carry.
Pillar 03 · Connection
Authentic human connections
Conscious communication workshops, emotional intelligence and the love languages. Vulnerability circles to speak honestly and listen without judgment: the week's deepest connection.
And to close: a renewal temazcal, wine tasting, gala dinner and a party under the stars. Celebrating who you are, among people who celebrate with you.
