This is more than a trip — it’s a transformational journey.
For 5 to 10 days, you won’t just explore the forest — you’ll become part of it.
Learn to survive like the river people: spear fishing, foraging, building shelter, and sleeping under the Amazonian sky.
An intense, raw, and unforgettable experience.
