Summer / fall packages
Amishk organised its visits in three formats: a five-hour getaway, a one-night "Amerindian discoveries" stay and the two-night "Amishk experience". The programme below sets out what each included, day by day, with the listed prices for reference.
In Amishk's own words
Text published by Amishk Aventures Amérindiennes, 2019 season.
The maximum number of travelers who can be accommodated on the site is limited and corresponds to the number of people staying in our 3 teepees (capacity of 5 adults or family of 6) and our 4 prospector tents (1 double + 2 single beds + 1 folding bed on request) to guarantee the quality of the exchanges with your Amerindian hosts. If you are a “preformed” group chartering exclusively the site, the capacity can be then in accommodation of 35 people in summer / autumn.
We are able to guarantee you a home exclusively for you (tipi or tent prospector, minimum 2 people for exclusivity)
