SHARED EXPEDITION BOOKING AGREEMENT:

Every single participant must clearly read, follow, and respect all established activities offered within their rough expedition outline. Doing this will help avoid conflicts with any other participating traveler within your group. Remember, This Is Not Your Private Expedition!.

Signing up for an expedition does not guarantee your seat unless your 50% reservation payment is received.

Amazon Expeditioners will only allow a maximum limit of 6 participants and a minimum of 2 participants per group, all this with the purpose of maintaining the best quality experience during our jungle explorations. We truly believe 6 travelers or less fits this criteria.

Once the 50% deposit payment of your reservation is formally made on your shared expedition, there is no going back since the decision of abandoning your group, will not only affect us as organizers but will also affect other travelers who have already promised and paid their reservations to travel with you, if this turns to be the case. "You Will Basically Lose Your 50% Reservation Deposit Payment".

All activities are subject to change due to weather conditions at any time of the year. The main rivers and the levels of the tributaries can vary and, therefore, it is possible that the navigation times and the excursions are modified at the discretion of the guide, this will not alter our motivation to make this trip the best.

THE MASTER PLANTS EXPEDITION; is designed for travelers looking to jump on an educational, cultural, spiritual, mental, and also physically demanding Amazon jungle experience, and of course the longer expeditions ones more intense than the shorter ones, with the main focus on the initial days in the search and extraction of a variety of "Master Plants", and different other medicinal plants of popular use in the Peruvian Amazon, and with the final purpose of learning its elaboration and responsible consumption with the adequate guidance of experienced Master Shamans from the Amazon region.

In case this so far sounds like a very interesting fit for you, then we think it is definitely the expedition you are looking for!

This expedition is meant to ensure participants enjoy a quiet relaxing and very interesting spiritual experience connected with Nature. This route will start its course in Iquitos city, by navigating the mighty Amazon river, and finally into other tributary rivers to reach the depths of different indigenous territories of the Amazon rainforest. We will settle down in our main operations camp, where we'll be able to have our most direct, and genuine connection with different Amazonian Plants and Nature with complete tranquility.

Please be advised that during this expedition our team will immerse every traveler into the depths of the Amazon rainforest as nomads. During day time; we will conduct our jungle exploration activities searching for Amazonian Master Plants along with other medicinal plants in and around as many jungle areas as we can possibly reach to obtain our purpose. At night; we will continue to carry out our explorations in search of other nocturnal species, as well as selecting places that have a special meaning in order to carry out our Ayahuasca ceremonies in the middle of the remote jungle, always with direct connection with wilderness.

During our experience of disconnection in the Amazon, there will be short and long segments of diets and meditation after conducting our ceremonies with certain Amazon Master Plants all depending on the duration of your expedition. This will mean and includes several days of resting without conducting any physical estrenuous activities, fasting, not too much exposure to the sun, special and strict diets, etc.

While MASTER PLANTS EXPEDITIONS alone focuses mainly on AMAZON MASTER PLANTS AND OTHER MEDICINAL NATIVE PLANTS, for travelers scheduling the MASTER PLANTS EXPEDITION WITH AMAZON SURVIVAL,  the very last part of the entire expeditions or even half of it will be dedicated  to the combination of both INDIGENOUS CUSTOMS AND TRADITIONS SHARING with AMAZON SURVIVAL TRAINING, What we basically call an Amazonian expedition that possesses "The Whole Package".

In Conclusion; These expeditions with few or multiple focuses will allow participants the observation and exploration of wildlife while obtaining an incredible spiritual adventure of self-encounter. Led by Master Healers, and Jungle Survival Instructors. Expeditions that will clearly consist in displaying the correct use of a variety of Amazonian Master Plants and other medicinal plants of popular use in the Peruvian Amazon used for centuries by its local inhabitants. Powerful and effective ancestral native plants that cleanse, treat, heal and harmonize our body, mind, and soul.
