Indigenous communities

Travel with the people who live in the jungle

We visit Amazonian families and communities such as the Kukama, Bora and Yagua. You learn from them on their own land: the blowgun, traditional fishing, the plants they heal with and life on the river.

  • Native guides who know every creek
  • Part of what you pay stays in the community
  • Small groups and respectful visits

FAQ

Questions we get asked most

How do I get to Iquitos?

Iquitos has no road connection: you arrive by plane (daily flights from Lima) or by river. We pick you up at the airport or your hotel.

When is the best time to travel?

You can travel all year round. From December to May the river is high and you can boat through the flooded forest; from June to November river beaches appear and there are more jungle walks.

What should I pack?

Light long-sleeved clothing, insect repellent, sunscreen, a flashlight, a rain poncho and your documents. We provide rubber boots on our expeditions.

How does the ancestral retreat work?

Before the retreat we talk with you about your health and your intention. If you take medication (especially antidepressants) or have any health condition, please tell us: not all are compatible with the diet and ceremonies.

How do I book and pay?

Message us on WhatsApp or use the form on each tour. We confirm availability and send you the details to secure your spot.
