AMAZON SURVIVAL EXPEDITION (STARTING FROM 10 TO 90+ DAYS LONG) - Regardless of the length of our survival expeditions, from day 1 each participant will have the opportunity to experience a total, personal and unparalleled cultural immersion, to live a lifestyle as indigenous and traditional as possible in the Amazon. Precisely here where our activities take place, are Amazonian territories in voluntary isolation far from the rest of other urban cities and heavily transited villages, and where there are still very few and probably one of the last groups of a generation of authentic hunters on the verge of extinction in the entire region, and who still live carrying out highly skilled jungle activities, diurnal and nocturnal explorations in the depths of sporadically explored and unexplored Amazonian territories, hunting, fishing and gathering for the subsistence of their families as in ancient times.

Before immersion, these hunters first focus on going through an intense "Preparation Phase" that involves working with the land within a very responsible cyclical activity of sustainability that includes deforesting small areas of land called "chacras" or "plantation fields", to then sow in them, cultivate them, harvest their products and then replant or reforest them. The very fundamental and beneficial part for the indigenous inhabitants around of this cycle of exploitation of the land and their natural resources, comes from the process of transforming each of the products obtained utilizing very ancient knowledge to convert many of these products into other food variants, in other to be consumed in difficult periods, such as cereals and carbohydrates suitable to withstand for months or even years, and for our survival expeditions they are well used on long disconnections, and at any temperature.

Taking this first segment of our preparation phase very seriously will be vital, since a segment full of rich knowledge transmitted by many generations over time, and that has managed to keep many of those who have acquired it alive to this day, today in Amazonia and that will also undoubtedly allow us all to stay alive during our prolonged isolation in the days to come. Without obtaining these previously prepared cereals and carbohydrates, we would not provide the necessary combination for the nutritional support of our daily diets with the meats and fish obtained during our hunting and fishing trips.

It is also important to emphasize that all the effort and dedication that each participant puts in during the group preparation of all our inputs will be reflected in the results of the rations obtained at the end. However, it is also important to understand that everything produced by our own bare hands will be carried on our own shoulders until the end of our expedition.

Now, the second segment of our intense preparation phase will focus on putting together a completely native basic first aid kit, all obtained entirely from Mother Nature. We will begin with a meticulous search, collection, preparation and training in the use of a very small and selective group of extremely essential and effective natural medicines and supplements, of which some of them are only administered correctly and safely with prior training given by those who have a extensive knowledge of its use, effects, and benefits, and not only within the physical and spiritual field of indigenous wisdom, but also within the field of scientific research.

The second phase of our Survival Expedition is called "Training Phase", here the focus will be on the construction and training of and with different weapons, artifacts and primitive utensils made with materials obtained from nature itself. In the same way, during this phase our team will focus on demonstrating and giving instruction in obtaining fire until each participant acquires a good foundation and ability to take with them to our next phase called Isolation Phase, that is what this interesting phase will be all about.

Finally, our last phase, the “Isolation Phase”, where the most anticipated begins, the part for which we have all been preparing for, and training for. The moment of truth where we will be loaded up with all our provisions, weapons, gear, and together with what we have learned to begin one of the most unique the disconnections of our life, and with the sole purpose of staying alive, by hunting, fishing, and crossing the primary pristine jungle of the Amazon rainforest by enjoying its endless beauty and complexity.

How long is Isolation phase?.... Again, it will depend on many factors such as; the number of days of the requestor (10 Days or More), weather conditions, water levels of (main rivers, tributaries, streams, creeks, swamps),  the mental and physical capabilities of each participant, teamwork, etc. This is why we advertise all our adventures, crossings, and training events as EXPEDITIONS and NOT TOURS. 

The rough outlines we provide for complex natural environments such as the Amazon Rainforest cannot simply be assigned with a detailed itinerary as for Conventional type Tours offered in  Zoos or Amusement Parks. The best thing we can do is list all the most realistic, existing, and available jungle activities/events that we have and can carry out during our expeditions, then focus on the most essential and required ones, always considering our availability of time.

​

WE WANT EVERY VISITOR TO HAVE SOMETHING VERY CLEAR FROM THE BEGINNING. THAT, IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, WE ARE, NOR WILL WE SEEK TO COMPETE, COMPARE, MINIMIZE, OR MAKE OURSELVES FEEL SUPERIOR IN ANY GENERAL SURVIVAL KNOWLEDGE. OUR ONLY PURPOSE IS TO SHOW THOSE WHO DECIDE TO JOIN US, HOW A GENUINE INDIGENOUS AMAZONIAN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP SURVIVES IN ITS HABITAT USING ONLY WHAT IS AVAILABLE AROUND, NOTHING ELSE, AND NOTHING MORE. THEREFORE, WE ARE NOT A CERTIFYING OFFICIAL SURVIVAL SCHOOL THAT WAS AT NO TIME OR POINT IN LIFE CERTIFIED BY ANYONE CLAIMING TO BE OF HIGHER EDUCATIONAL OFFICIAL APPROVAL AUTHORITY, BUT BY OUR OWN LOCAL AND ANCESTRAL LIFESTYLE CARRIED FROM GENERATIONS.​
