Our Services

Amazon Expeditioners is an independent operator and direct executor of its own Nomadic Amazon Survival Expeditions. We do not partner with or sell programs to external operators or agencies.

  • Our expeditions take place in remote Amazonian territories with little to no tourist presence. Accommodations vary depending on the expedition and may include personal tents, mosquito nets (brought by participants), indigenous village huts/cabins, hammocks, natural shelters, or tree platforms.

  • We do not promote luxury. Our programs are authentic survival expeditions, relying on essential gear (see our What to Pack page) and the expertise of our trained exploratory team.

  • Programs and activities are subject to change based on seasonal and weather conditions, including river water levels.

  • We currently offer two progressive programs:

    1. Coexisting with Hunters – Immersion and adaptation, living daily life alongside Amazonian hunters.

    2. Becoming a Hunter – Training and transformation, developing the skills and mindset of an Amazonian hunter.

  • Activities may include the use of ancestral Amazonian medicine (e.g., Kambo). All participants must disclose their medical history and sign mandatory health documents prior to participation.

  • Meals will consist of local Amazonian food prepared in connection with indigenous communities. Expect traditional staples, seasonal fruits, local grains, fish, and meats obtained through hunting or fishing. While we will do our best to accommodate dietary requests (vegetarian, vegan, etc.), special diets cannot be guaranteed.

  • Amazon Expeditioners assumes no responsibility for delays in the start or return of expeditions caused by weather, transportation issues, or other events beyond our control. To minimize risks, we recommend arriving in Iquitos at least one day before your expedition and leaving at least one full day after its conclusion.

  • Participants who voluntarily withdraw before completion of the expedition will not receive a refund and must cover their own return transportation costs.

  • We do not provide health or life insurance. Each participant is responsible for obtaining personal travel and medical insurance, including coverage for emergency evacuation.

  • Air transportation to certain remote areas (e.g., Matsés National Reserve, Sierra del Divisor National Park) depends on local aircraft schedules and weather. Travelers should purchase flexible tickets to and from Iquitos.

  • Our Iquitos office operates mainly by appointment. Contact us at info@amazonexpeditioners.com or via WhatsApp/Telegram: +51 999 116 499 (Spanish/English).
