Embark on a rare, immersive hunter-gatherer experience, fish for piranhas, explore by canoe
Duration: 6 days, 5 nights
Location: Ecuadorian Amazon (Start in Coca)
Budget: $2500
This isn’t your typical Amazon trip — it’s a rare, immersive hunter-gatherer experience where you’ll live and learn alongside an Indigenous tribe deep in the jungle. You’ll fish for piranhas, forage for food, and gain ancient survival skills directly from local leaders — all while forming deep bonds with a like-minded crew. From canoeing hidden tributaries to sleeping in remote eco-lodges, this journey offers access to a world most travelers will never even know exists.
The Details
This isn’t just a trip — it’s a sacred invitation. Deep in the Amazon, you’ll live with an Indigenous tribe and learn how to fish, forage, and survive using techniques passed down through generations. You’ll eat what you catch, sleep in the jungle, and witness a way of life most people will never see. This is a raw, real, and rare experience — one rooted in respect, humility, and human connection. If you’re craving something deeper than tourism, welcome to the Amazon as few have ever known it.

The Background:
Nima once lived with a true hunter-gatherer tribe deep in the Ecuadorian Amazon for three months. He found them not through a travel agency, but by asking the military to take him to a tribe untouched by tourism. When it came time to leave, he asked how he could help — and their answer was simple: bring people who care.
This trip isn’t just about adventure. By visiting the Waorani tribe, we raise awareness to help protect their sacred land from exploitation, while also giving back to the community directly. It’s travel with purpose — raw, real, and impactful.
