The Amazon Wilderness Trek

Highlights

Trek challenge Challenge level

• Trek through the Amazon rainforest in the lowlands of Peru • Sleep on viewing platforms to look out for tapirs • Visit an amazing Indigenous village • Traditional shelter building • Boat ride on the red Ucayali River • Spot giant otters in their jungle lake

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 fi nd, gather and catch food using native methods, from picking tropical fruits to fi shing with jungle tools and constructing traps using only what Mother Nature has provided. We’ll even source our own drinking water, get trained in canoeing, build shelters and identify a wide array of plants as we pass.

Our life-changing adventure gives us the amazing opportunities to spot a widearray of animals, from bats and parrots to monkeys, sloths and otters. Keep your eyes peeled because, if we’re really lucky, we may even see a jaguar!
