the amazon wilderness trek
Immerse yourself in the wild beauty of the Amazon rainforest, home to most of the species on our planet! Paying respect to the diverse natural habitat, we’ll use only the bear necessities we need to survive as we trek through the jungle.
Together, we’ll learn how to find, gather and catch food using native methods, from picking tropical fruits to fishing with jungle tools and constructing traps using only what Mother Nature has provided.
We even source our own drinking water and salt! Exploring the area around the Rio Negro, our local challenge leader trains us in canoeing, building shelters in the forest and identifying the array of plants we pass.
Our life changing adventure gives us the amazing opportunities to spot an Amazon-azing array of animals, from bats and parrots to monkeys, sloths and otters. Keep your eyes peeled as if we’re really lucky, we may see a jaguar or a giant river otter! CLICK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION AND TO BOOK
