Venture Deep into the Rainforest

If you’ve ever dreamed of immersing yourself in the untamed Amazon, this is your opportunity. This expedition takes you far beyond the tourist paths and offers a rare chance to live in the jungle alongside skilled guides and native communities who have called it home for generations.

Hands-On Learning in the Jungle

Whether you’re just starting your bushcraft journey or looking to expand your skills in a new environment, this experience is designed to teach through doing—surrounded by the rhythms of the forest.

You’ll explore skills such as:

• Traditional and modern fishing methods
• Crafting blowguns, bows, and slingshots
• Trap construction and animal tracking
• Basketry, pottery, and natural materials gathering
• Ecological studies: reptiles, insects, and mammals
• Knife techniques, firecraft, and optional participation in ceremonies

Guided by Experts

Leading the expedition is Peter Magnin, an experienced field medic and remote survival expert with Bushcraft Global. Alongside him, members of the Matis, Yagua, Huitoto, and other indigenous communities offer their wisdom in a respectful, collaborative setting. This is a true cultural exchange based on trust, tradition, and shared exploration.
