Why Quiet Is So Important in Travel
"The Zabalo River, deep within the lush Amazon jungle in Ecuador, has a healthy balance of bioacoustics activity and an average noise-free interval of several hours. QPI declared it the world’s first designated quiet park in 2019. Their alliance with the Zabalo River’s indigenous Cofan Nation helps them defend their lands as well, by creating ecotourism revenue in the area for people who wish to responsibly experience true quiet."
