Extreme Amazonia; beautiful and unpredictable, accessible and complex, fascinating and inhospitable, abundant and challenging, explored and unexplored, these are just some of the many ways in which many refer to it. For us they are only some references of the home and neighborhood where we live, and it is from this home of ours that when we talk about our purpose of delivering "One of the Most Genuine Amazon Jungle Experiences" to those who decide to join us, for us really, it'll be truly one of the most natural jobs or missions to undertake and fulfill, and all this is simply because we are the children of the original indigenous people who inhabit it, born and raised in these completely remote lands. Here we only know one genuine way to explore it, and that is, in the most ancestral and traditional way we inherited from countless generations before us, working with the land directly, fishing and hunting on it to continue our subsistence responsibly, and more. Unique expeditions aimed to genuine explorers determined to experience a 100% local lifestyle, one that only shows the pure reality that currently exists within our most disconnected Amazonian territories.

​

Below we've managed to be just a little flexible by presenting two incomparable expeditions one slightly more demanding than the other, both will definitely keep their authenticity, the first one aimed to be delivered to "Those looking for a Genuine Survival Amazonian Expedition Experience", and the second one to "Those who are looking for the same Genuine Amazonian Expedition Experience but in a Non-Survival way". The first expedition is called AMAZON SURVIVAL EXPEDITION and the second one is called AMAZON CROSSING EXPEDITION.

​

​

What are some of the slight differences between Survival Expeditions vs Non-Survival Expeditions?

​

a) The Food; Survival Expeditions will be sustained by a 100% Amazonian traditional local products, of which 80% will be obtained in nature during our isolation in the depths of the jungle, and the remaining 20% will be obtained from the indigenous communities of the area we'll be exploring, as a way to contribute with them financially. Non-Survival Expeditions will be sustained with a combination of Amazonian traditional local products, and products obtained from other urban regions (coast and mountains) of Peru prior from our departure to the jungle, of which 30% will be provided from the city of Iquitos or Lima, 50% will be obtained in nature during our isolation in the depths of the jungle, and as usual the remaining 20% from the indigenous communities of the area, again, as a way to contribute with them financially. 

​

b) The Main Objective; Although both types of expeditions share the same objective of showing the reality of life in the Amazon, our Survival Expeditions will focus more in "Acquiring Wilderness Survival Skills and to Obtain a Nomadic Wilderness Living Experience of the Amazon" that' will teach visitors on how locals comfortably and instinctively subsist only with Amazonian Indigenous knowledge, and our Non-Survival Expeditions will focus just in the "Nomadic Wilderness Living Experience of the Amazon" which includes (Indigenous Cultural Knowledge, Wildlife Sighting, River and Land Navigation Explorations, all only in a less survivalist way so to speak compare to our Amazon Survival Expeditions), but both in our same adventurous nomadic style.

​

c) The Phases; Survival Expeditions will be broken down into three phases "Preparation Phase", "Training Phase", and "Isolation Phase" (Diurnal and Nocturnal River and Land Explorations for Hunting, Fishing, and Surviving in Pristine Jungle), and Non-Survival Expeditions will be simplified into two total phases "Indigenous Cultural Immersion Phase" and "Wilderness Immersion Phase" (Diurnal and Nocturnal River and Land Explorations for Wildlife Sighting, Fishing, and the Crossing of Pristine Jungle ). 

​

d) The Pace; For the same reason that Survival Expeditions primary focus is on learning/training and the challenge of preserving subsistence in a very complex natural environment, the evolution of this event will be executed at a slower pace versus Non-Survival Expeditions, the challenge is different and it'll be there for both, but for the second option explorations and crossings will have to be carried out in a certain amount of time, the approach is also different and varied according to the requirement. The pace can vary from being a leisurely expedition in search of certain species of animals endemic to the Amazon, to an expedition of exploration and crossing at a more accelerated pace in order to reach a desired destination.

​

e) The Levels of Difficulty; Survival Expeditions from "Moderate to Challenging" and from "Challenging to Strenuous", and Non-Survival Expeditions from "Easy to Moderate", from "Moderate to Challenging" and from "Challenging to Strenuous".

​

f) The Accommodations; Moving through the pristine territories of the Amazon jungle like free nomads it's definitely our style, that said, we do want to make clear that for Survival Expeditions we'll be providing and keeping the load to the very minimum with mosquito nets only, and for Non-Survival Expeditions the same, but with the little flexibility of allowing travelers bring their personal camping tents.

​

g) The Cost; Survival Expeditions are slightly more affordable than Non-Survival Expeditions, all this is because on Survival Expeditions we are responsible to hunt, fish, cook and carry our own food supplies in addition to our own personal gear, vs Non-Survival Expeditions we'll be hiring additional personnel (porters) who will be the ones responsible to to carry the food supplies previously obtained to meet our needs during the entire expedition.

​

For whichever you decide in the end or for which you feel in the physical and mental capabilities to perform, Survival or Non-Survival, we encourage travelers to be prepared with an open mind and heart and to be willing to adapt to any upcoming challenges encountering when committing to this very nomadic adventurous lifestyle into the depths of the Amazon Rainforest, which it'll be an indigenous lifestyle that has no room for comforts, luxuries or prejudices.
