One TourRadar traveler shares: "visiting in October meant fewer tourists and better rates at the lodges."

According to a TourRadar traveler: "The visit to the Secoya community cost USD 5 extra but was absolutely worth it for the cultural experience."

Plan for these extra costs: transport to and from Quito (USD 60-75 by shuttle) entry fees for indigenous communities (USD 5-10) staff tips (USD 10-15 daily is standard) and personal expenses like drinks and souvenirs. A TourRadar traveler suggests: "Make sure to budget extra for the shuttle service and community visits which aren't included but are worthwhile experiences."
