Some excerpts from the big blue Los Cedros guestbook:


Still some Paradise Left.
Paul Heury, U.S.A.

Nature here shows itself slowly, new suprises, new insights, greater knowledge, more wonderful every day. As my first look at tropical rainforest, this has done nothing more than make we want to see more!
Mika Peck, Cardiff University

What an absolutley excellent place to pass 4 months of my life.
Peter and Ruth Semple, England

Visiting Los Cedros for the third time in as many years. I look forward to returning to what is one of my favourite places in Ecuador.
Magnus Schoeman, Lundor University

I have forgotten street lights, telephone rings and alarm clocks, I lost track of time.
Heather Kelley, Canada

After three months here I am still impressed by this forest full of life. I really enjoyed every single day - the working days, which taught me so many things, and the weekends with lots of walking, swimming, parties and all the other activitied which were just great!...I hope there will be no more threats to that beautiful place in the future - and I wish you and Los Cedros all the best.
Ricarda Miller

I walked lots of excellent trails, sweated, got soaked, waded streams, walked through spider webs, saw giant millipedes & many other things, and I'm now in love with the forest.
Evelyn Underwood, England

Deep, deep time of memory and reawakenings... may this place remain in the womb, the garden, as a source of life as the industrial machine splutters and gradually transforms. To know there is such a place is to breathe hope.
Anja Light, Australia

Thanks to the Great Spirit for taking me to this Sacred Forest. I'll bring these special experiences to Japan for carrying the message from you. I hope our love can save this forest, like we are healed by your love.
Chaco Takino, Japan

Gracias por una experiencia tan pero tan plena e inoluidable.
Valeria Guevara, Ecuador

Thanks for sharing this fairytale. I've never felt this rich before.
Jennifer Roberts, Sweden

El silencio de esta roche, queroes silencio, sin no el concerto de insectos. Los Cedros te da una experenza y energias para seguir su exemplo y hacer ulgo mas por el mundo.
Micada Pena, Ecuador

Thank you, Los Cedros, for everything. I came here to get intimate with some prime Ecuadorean rainforest, to learn a little about the plants & animals, and ended up getting intimate with myself and learning a lot about myself I didn't know or expect. Expectations are a big part of the Los Cedros experience. Mine were spectacularly exceeded, so I leave deliriously happy, and of course sad at the same time.... My joys have far outweighed my fears in the past month and are far too numerous to list. However, edited highlights are... Luxury (completley unexpected)....The luxury of time....Good company balanced with healthy doses of solitude (and no one giving me sh*t for going off on my own!)
Holly, Australia

I have spent many hours alone here - working, thinking, reading, writing... It seems that the diversity of life here encourages a corresponding abundance of thought.
Erica Carpenter, USA

April 8?/9?/2000 I love that I don't know the date!
Nicole Hamel, Canada

These three weeks volunteering here have been an experience of a lifetime. Every morning I've been waking up looking out of the window and going "iwow!". I'm happy to know that at least a piece of this kind of nature is in good hands. And no less of an experience have been all the people here...thank you, thank you, thank you.
Sini, Finland
