For centuries, this extraordinary natural area has intrigued travelers, historians and scientists <\/h2>\n
\n

Go on an adventure to discover one of the wildest regions of the planet. In the heart of the Amazon, near Brazil and Venezuela, explore the primary forest of Guyana and its immense biodiversity. A trip to the depths of South America for adventurers and nature lovers.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Through the splendor of its landscapes, the strange beauty of its flora and fauna, and the mortal dangers of its mysterious undergrowth with untold treasures, the region of Rupununi<\/strong> has always inspired the wildest of dreams.<\/p>\n

This 15,000 square kilometer region stretches from the Essequibo River in the south, through the Iwokrama forest, and on to the jungle and savanna hills near Lethem.
\nThe Rupununi is the land of the Makushi, Waiwai and Wapishana ethnic groups are the guardians of this wilderness.<\/p>\n

\u201cDelight itself is a weak term to express the feeling of a naturalist who for the first time has wandered by himself in a Brazilian forest. The elegance of the grasses, the novelty of the parasitical plants, the beauty of the flowers, the glossy green of the foliage, but above all the general luxuriance of the tropical vegetation fill me with admiration. Any enthusiastic naturalist will find, such a day brings a deeper pleasure than he can ever hope to experience again.\u201d Charles Darwin<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Organization of our adventure in Guyana<\/a><\/h3>\n
\n

Where will you sleep and what will you eat?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We will set up camp every night in the middle of the forest, often by the banks of the river, where we will set up our hammocks according to the Amazon tradition.
\nEach one of our expeditions is unique. As we move deeper into the forest, with our guides, we will select a new spot to set up camp each day. Our camps will be built when we arrive at each spot, with our local guide. Our camping sites are selected for their beauty, their location, or sometimes because they are the only possible place. Comfort is simple and rudimentary but it always makes for an exceptional experience and atmosphere.<\/p>\n

We will eat the provisions that we have brought along with us. Fruits, vegetables and starch will provide our basic diet, which will be complemented by some fresh local produce from our encounters with the local people.<\/p>\n

Participant profile<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am fit and healthy. I practice a sporting activity occasionally and I am able to push myself but I need some rest in between my efforts.
\nI am looking for an experience that takes me off the beaten track and the idea of camping out in the middle of the forest appeals to me<\/strong>.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
