7-Day Jungle Survival Training in Iquitos

A real jungle experience!

I spent 8 days in the Amazon with Hector and 3 Matses guides: Armando, Denis, and Hernán, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable trips I've ever taken. What I appreciated most is that this wasn't a "tourist version" of the Amazon. We traveled deep into the rainforest, spent days away from civilization, slept in simple camps, fished for our meals, learned survival and hunting, and experienced the jungle in a way that very few visitors probably do. We even built a small raft from scratch using materials from the forest. It was physically demanding at times, but also very rewarding Héctor did an outstanding job organizing and planning the logistics. Everything ran smoothly, so the focus was on the experience. A real highlight was the Matsés and their almost frightening level of knowledge about living in the jungle, which made the experience feel very genuine. This isn't a luxury trip, it's a way to really experience the real, humid, rainy, hot, dangerous and unforgiving jungle, while still feeling safe Thank you, Héctor, Denis, Armando, and Hernán, for sharing your knowledge and your culture. It was a fantastic experience.

15-Day Jungle Survival Training by Amazon Explorer

Survival/challenge for 15 days

I did a survival/challenge trip for 7 days and stayed 8 more days in Jersualem, Sergio's native community (my guide) The organization was impeccable, I always felt accompanied by Sergio, he was very hospitable, attentive and close, as well as Hector, a really trusted person, takes his job very seriously and professionally and it is rating that he really wants you to have the best experience possible. During the crossing, I had the possibility to see an anaconda, monkeys, macaws, toads, alligators and other animals. Also the coexistence with the native community was very nice, they received me with very warmth.
