Expedition Overview
Prepare for a true expedition into the planet's most vital ecosystem. This is not a luxury cruise; it is an authentic, immersive experience designed for the intrepid traveler. You'll journey by riverboat deep into the remote Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, stay in rustic-but-comfortable jungle lodges, and explore the rainforest on foot and by canoe with expert naturalist guides. This is a chance to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with the wild heart of the Earth.
What to Expect:
This is a challenging and remote expedition. Accommodation on the riverboat and in lodges is basic. You should be prepared for high heat and humidity, insects, and unpredictable weather. A high degree of adaptability and a love for raw, untamed nature are essential. The rewards are unparalleled access to one of the most biodiverse places on Earth.
Trip Highlights:
- Navigating the mighty Amazon River and its hidden black-water tributaries by riverboat.
- Spotting incredible wildlife, including pink river dolphins, several species of monkeys, and exotic birds.
- Embarking on thrilling night walks and canoe trips to discover nocturnal creatures.
- Learning survival skills and the medicinal uses of plants from local indigenous guides.
- Fishing for the legendary piranha (and having it for dinner!).
