Spend a full day in the Amazon basin with a federally credentialed local expert, weaving between pristine rainforest trails, a working shaman's garden, and an authentic riverside community. The definitive human and natural story of the Amazon.
What to expect
Milton begins with a forest walk that most visitors never take — a medicinal plant trail used by local healers, where he explains each plant's role in traditional Amazonian medicine with vivid, expert storytelling. A dugout canoe takes you to a stilted riverside village where you share a meal with a local family, prepared with ingredients plucked from the jungle that morning. The afternoon is reserved for whatever captivates you most — piranha fishing, caiman spotting, or simply sitting on a quiet riverbank as the forest breathes around you.
