Expedition Level 1: EASY – Immersive, Low-Impact Experience

While most of our expeditions fall beyond this level, we offer tailored experiences at this difficulty by special request. These low-intensity journeys are ideal for those seeking cultural immersion, relaxed jungle exploration, or dedicated work with master plants without the demands of deep travel. Expeditions at this level typically involve staying in or near one location, engaging with local communities, and participating in traditional practices or nature observation. For guests joining higher-difficulty expeditions, we can also arrange backpack porters (additional cost) to reduce the physical challenge, ensuring broader accessibility while still offering an authentic Amazonian experience.

​

Expedition Level 3: MODERATE – Active Adventure with Comfortable Challenge

Designed for those in good health with a basic level of fitness, this level introduces participants to the dynamic nature of the Amazon through moderate hikes and river navigation. Trails are generally well-defined, and hiking times range from 4 to 6 hours per day, interspersed with short- to medium-length river journeys by motorized boat, canoe, or paddle. No prior expedition experience is required, though guests should be comfortable with variable conditions such as heat, humidity, and muddy trails. Some days may include faster or longer hikes, depending on the terrain and overall expedition goals.

​

Expedition Level 5: CHALLENGING – Demanding Terrain and Expedition Dynamics

Expeditions at this level venture deeper into the Amazon and require excellent physical condition and mental endurance. Expect demanding trails, unpredictable weather, biting insects, and long days averaging 6 to 8 hours of hiking—sometimes more. You’ll cross multiple ecological zones, navigate narrow rivers, and spend hours paddling handcrafted wooden canoes, occasionally against strong currents. Prior multi-day hiking or backpacking experience is helpful but not mandatory if you're well-conditioned and ready to embrace discomfort. This level tests your ability to adapt, endure, and fully engage with the untamed rainforest environment.

​

Expedition Level 7: STRENUOUS – Extreme Jungle Survival and Self-Reliance

Reserved for seasoned adventurers with high levels of physical fitness, mental toughness, and backcountry experience, Level 7 is a full immersion into extreme wilderness living. You’ll carve your way through untouched jungle, build your own shelters (ground and elevated), construct wooden rafts or canoes, and carry all your personal gear. Expeditions at this level can span several weeks to months, often in total isolation from civilization. Rapid weather shifts, limited supplies, and continuous physical exertion demand both resilience and a survivalist mindset. This is the pinnacle of raw Amazonian exploration—unfiltered, unforgiving, and unforgettable.
