"Wild Programs"
Idealy we prefer to customize each trip to the client.
I think a rigid program steals the adventure from the client. And in truth when you go on an excursion you never really know what you will see or what will happen next.
However, some of our most popular and successful trips are as follows:
* General interest
* La Selva Project (survival)
* Cat Country
* Amoung the Matses
* Beyond the Rio Tigre
* Hooked on the Amazon - (World class tropical fresh water fishing)
* Amazon - medicine - men & Plants
* Night of the Insects
1. General Interest : This trip is set to experience as much of the diversity of the Amazon as possible.
Fishing, swimming and observing pink dolphins, birds, monkeys, plants, sloths, bats, caiman, natives, etc..
These trips take place at a range of over 170 kilometers out, so that you have the best chance of wild life observations.
The plan is simple, you get up early every day, hiking and boating and canoeing . You will be served 3 great meals a day with plenty of fruit. And, you will go into the night - hiking or canoeing.
We will work out of a wilderness base camp. At night you sleep in beds or hammocks, with nets for insect protection, flush toilets and shower. We also have a screened dining area.
Please check with us for more details.
2. La Selva Project: Amazon survival excursion.
This is a project that "Soldier of Fourtune Magazine and American survival guide "helped make Richard Fowler famous.
Usually it’s two weeks of full contact with the Amazon. Traveling through the jungle with the indigenous masters of survival arts.
Fishing, hunting, traping, fire building, navigation & orientation, plants, (medicine, food, poison).
This is a trip of adventure and learning.
You must be fit and have a positive mental attitude.
Please check with us for complete details.
3. Cat Country:
This is a special trip for special people. People who are patient and good hikers.
People who are willing to pay extra dues of being quiet and still for long periods of time to catch a glimpse of one or more of the 5 tropical cats found in this region.
Our study area is an 18 kilometer sandy wash that runs through high jungle.
Any thing that moves across this area leaves tracks which are easily visible and trackable.
This is where we set up with blinds and hidesand use a variety of predator calls.
The last trip we saw over 150 jaguar tracks, some as close as 50 yards from our camp that passed one night. We had the sighting of a jackarundi and a rare wild bush dog.
Not only have we called the cats to us but we have photos as well.
When you waits for cats, many other birds and animals are also observed.
If you like wild places and wild cats, when you leave this place you will have know you were in CAT COUNTRY.
Inquire for more information.
4. Amoung the Matses:(Mayaruna or Cat people):
A super adventure to one of the most remote places left on planet earth.
There are several options for this trip.
a:- Fly to the Rio Yavari, the border river to Brasil, and move by motor boat to the Matses village.
While there have a chance to try the Matses snuff and the traditional Matses "sappho" (frog venom).
