      About this trip

       A Pachamama Journey offers the rare privilege to have a profound immersion with intact Indigenous people. You will be invited into their ancestral culture, providing direct experience to learn from an uninterrupted lineage of wisdom amongst the vibrant forest. This remote environment becomes curiously familiar as it awakens an ancient memory, stored in our very DNA, of a natural and harmonious way of living and being.


      You will be welcomed at Indigenous-owned lodges and villages that offer the unique opportunity to engage in intimate conversations and activities such as interpretive rainforest hikes, river trips in canoes and kayaks, cultural practices and traditions, and shamanic ceremonies.

      The trip of a lifetime! Such a healing journey to witness and experience these cultures and people. Our guide was AMAZING! This was a true spiritual experience and so calming to the nervous system. Highly recommended!

      My experience was beautiful. I have difficulty putting into words the connection I feel with the jungle, the communities, and the permanent protection of the Amazon that this trip further opened my eyes and heart to. The accommodations, guidance, and related experiences were more than I had hoped for. I will be back. Until next time... Thank you:)

      This trip was exemplary. Our guide Estefania was outstanding and an epic leader. Every detail was taken care of and we worried about nothing. I felt so taken care of - our experiences in each community were wonderful, the people, the food and the energy. This trip was one of the best of my life.

      This journey was a life changing experience. Being in the jungle surrounded by the sounds of birds, monkeys and other animals felt like being at home or in the womb of Pachamama, meeting those wonderful, dignified, rooted and heartful guides and communities and their sincere intention to serve and protect la selva touched me and changed me. I feel like I have now a kind if family in the jungle. Everything went so smooth, because of the careful planning of the organisation, the heartful hostage of the Archuars and the flexible and creative adaption by our wonderful guide Estefania. She is a precious, competent and joyful bridge builder between the two worlds. The meals were delicious.. The quality, freshness and beautiful decoration turned every meal into a little feast and prayer. Our little adventure group was so caring for each other and amidst this naked beauty and aura of nature we all opened up so deeply. We laughed a lot and had a lot of deep sharings and brainstorms about how to support the vision to protect the forest and how to integrate our amazing experience into our daily life and relations. I know this will be a life-long connection with the pulse of life for me and will influence my decisions, actions and my being. I am grateful and still integrating. Makete!
