AMAZON SURVIVAL EXPEDITION (STARTING FROM 10 TO 90 DAYS LONG) - Very independent of the duration of each survival expedition we carry out, the first impression that every participant will experience from day one is to find themselves completely immersed in a very basic, humble and unmatched indigenous lifestyle within very disconnected Amazonian territories. Here in these corners of the world, when both hunters and fishermen decide to isolate themselves from their families towards the depths of the jungle, and with the sole objective of supplying themselves with food to maintain their subsistence, the first thing they undergo is to go through an intense "Preparation Phase" that involves two fundamental parts. The first part of this preparation phase will consist of the cultivation of their lands, then their harvest, followed by a sustainable cyclic activity of replanting them, and as the culmination of this activity, a process of transformation of each of the products obtained. It will be in this process where very ancient knowledge will be used to convert many of these products into other different food variants, so that only then can they be consumed within indefinite periods, including cereals and carbohydrates suitable to withstand long trips, and at any temperature.

Taking this first part of our preparation phase very seriously will be vital, since a segment full of rich knowledge transmitted by many generations over time, and that has managed to keep many of those who have acquired it alive to this day, today in Amazonia and that will also undoubtedly allow us all to stay alive during our prolonged isolation in the days to come. Without obtaining these previously prepared cereals and carbohydrates, we would not provide the necessary combination and nutritional support to our daily diets with the meats and fish obtained during our hunting and fishing trips.

It is also important to emphasize that all the effort and dedication that each participant puts in during the group preparation of all our inputs will be reflected in the results of the rations obtained at the end. However, it is also important to understand that everything produced by our own bare hands will be carried on our own shoulders until the end of our expedition.

Now, the second part of our intense preparation phase will focus on putting together a completely native basic first aid kit, all obtained entirely from Mother Nature. We will begin with a meticulous search, collection, preparation and training in the use of a very small and selective group of extremely essential and effective natural medicines, of which some of them are only administered correctly and safely with prior training given by those who have a extensive knowledge of its use, effects, and benefits, and not only within the physical and spiritual field of indigenous wisdom, but also within the field of scientific research. 

Typically, this first phase can last up to a week or more, and requires hard work and teamwork. For this reason and thinking about the participants who have a limited amount of time to carry out this very extensive, educational and complex expedition of ours ranging from 10 to 25 days, our team will go ahead and start with the advancement of half of this entire preparation process with most of our supplies and tools already acquired and prepared, approximately 3 to 4 days prior to Day 1. Only then we'll be able to completely finish the remaining work required by this entire survival preparation phase process when the participants arrive. Obviously, on expeditions of more than 25 days, a more extensive, rich, complete, and detailed workshop of the multiple activities that our preparation phase entails can be demonstrated.

The second phase of our Survival Expedition is called "Training Phase", here the focus will be on the construction and training of and with different weapons, artifacts and primitive utensils made with materials obtained from nature itself. In the same way, during this phase our team will focus on demonstrating and giving instruction in obtaining fire until each participant acquires a good foundation and ability to take with them to our next phase called Isolation Phase, that is what this interesting phase will be all about.

Finally, our last phase, the “Isolation Phase”, where the most anticipated begins, the part for which we have all been preparing for, and training for. The moment of truth where we will shoulder all our provisions, weapons, gear, etc, together with what we have learned to begin the disconnection of a lifetime, and with the sole purpose of staying alive, by hunting, fishing, and crossing the primary pristine jungle of the Amazon rainforest enjoying its endless beauty and complexity.

How long?.... Again, it will depend on many factors such as; the number of days of the requestor (10 Days or More), weather conditions, water levels of (main rivers, tributaries, streams, creeks, swamps),  the mental and physical capabilities of each participant, teamwork, etc. This is why we advertise all our adventures, crossings, and training events as EXPEDITIONS and NOT TOURS. 

The rough outlines we provide for complex natural environments such as the Amazon Rainforest cannot simply be assigned with a detailed itinerary as for Conventional type Tours offered in  Zoos or Amusement Parks. The best thing we can do is list all the most realistic, existing, and available jungle activities/events that we have and can carry out during our expeditions, then focus on the most essential and required ones, always considering our availability of time.

​

WE WANT EVERY VISITOR TO HAVE SOMETHING VERY CLEAR FROM THE BEGINNING. THAT, IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM, WE ARE, NOR WILL WE SEEK TO COMPETE, COMPARE, MINIMIZE, OR MAKE OURSELVES FEEL SUPERIOR IN ANY GENERAL SURVIVAL KNOWLEDGE. OUR ONLY PURPOSE IS TO SHOW THOSE WHO DECIDE TO JOIN US, HOW A GENUINE INDIGENOUS AMAZONIAN INDIVIDUAL OR GROUP SURVIVES IN ITS HABITAT USING ONLY WHAT IS AVAILABLE AROUND, NOTHING ELSE, AND NOTHING MORE. THEREFORE, WE ARE NOT A CERTIFYING OFFICIAL SURVIVAL SCHOOL THAT WAS AT NO TIME OR POINT IN LIFE CERTIFIED BY ANYONE CLAIMING TO BE OF HIGHER EDUCATIONAL OFFICIAL APPROVAL AUTHORITY, BUT BY OUR OWN LOCAL AND ANCESTRAL LIFESTYLE CARRIED FROM GENERATIONS.
