I spent 10 days in the Amazon jungles of Colombia and Brazil. Come learn with me.
I was a 90s kid, and thus, I played Oregon Trail. I’ve seen a lot of dysentery in my day. Imagine my joy in 1996 when the new Amazon Trail came out! No more dysentery. And Fishing! Photos! Creatures! It was super cool, and it planted in my brain a desire to float on the Amazon River myself. Fast forward 25 years and I arrived in Colombia in the Amazon jungle via Bushcraft Global Expeditions. I wasn’t a carefree 11-year-old kid anymore, and I went looking for more than just an adventure. What I found was rich, vibrant, and inspiring. I’m glad you’re here for the ride.
