I come from an indigenous background, which has instilled in me a deep connection and respect for the Amazon rainforest and its communities. Growing up, I was surrounded by the rich cultural traditions and knowledge of my ancestors. This inspired me to become a jungle guide and share the beauty and importance of the rainforest with visitors from around the world.
My motivation stems from a desire to promote sustainable and responsible tourism practices that benefit both visitors and the local communities. By focusing on Indigenous tourism, I aim to showcase the cultural heritage of the Amazon's indigenous populations while fostering economic empowerment and cultural preservation within these communities.
Cultural sensitivity and respect are at the core of our tour operations. We engage in ongoing consultations with the Indigenous communities to ensure their wishes and values are respected throughout the tour experience. We provide extensive training to our guides on cultural protocols and encourage open and respectful interactions between visitors and community members.
Swim with pink dolphins, track piranhas, preserve the forest.
