Omaere means “nature of the rainforest,” in the Waorani language, one of the indigenous groups of the Ecuadorian Amazon. The Park was founded in the year 1993 by an indigenous Shuar woman with the help of two companions from France.
They formed the Omaere Foundation and bought a 15 hectare parcel of land in the outskirts of Puyo. Now, 15 years later, the plants have grown and the forest has come back, only augmented with a focus of useful and medicinal plants.
At Omaere you can learn about the importance of these plants to the indigenous cultures of the Amazon, as well as enjoying the peace and tranquility of the rainforest just minutes from the city of Puyo.
