Expeditions and Collaborations

Join Bushcraft Global for an immersive expedition into the Amazon rainforest, where generations of Indigenous knowledge meet hands-on bushcraft, wildlife exploration, and the realities of living in one of the most extraordinary ecosystems on Earth.

This is beyond normal tourism routes, as we’ll venture into the rainforest for an experience built around learning by doing. Working alongside Indigenous guides and local communities, you’ll develop practical jungle living skills, explore the incredible biodiversity of the Amazon, and gain a deeper understanding of the relationship between people and the rainforest. With lead guide Peter Magnin, you will be well taken care of.

This expedition welcomes everyone from first-time jungle adventurers to experienced bushcrafters looking to expand their skills in a truly challenging environment. With experienced expedition leaders and knowledgeable local guides, you’ll learn to navigate the rhythms of tropical rainforest life while experiencing the Amazon from a perspective few visitors ever get to see.

Traditional Knowledge. Jungle Bushcraft Skills.  Hands on Jungle Experience.

Throughout the expedition, we’ll explore a wide range of traditional and modern jungle skills, drawing on the knowledge and experience of Indigenous guides and Bushcraft Global’s expedition team. Depending on local conditions and opportunities, activities may include:

• Jungle campcraft: Learn to establish a rainforest camp, set up a hammock, and adapt to life in a hot, humid environment.

• Traditional hunting and fishing skills: Explore primitive and modern fishing techniques, along with the construction and use of traditional tools such as blowguns, bows, and slingshots.

• Tracking and wildlife observation: Develop your ability to read the rainforest, recognize signs of animal activity, and observe its remarkable wildlife responsibly.

• Jungle tools and techniques: Learn about the practical use of jungle knives, natural materials, and traditional methods for working effectively in the rainforest.

• Indigenous crafts and knowledge: Discover traditional basket weaving, pottery, and other cultural practices, gaining insight into the skills and resourcefulness that support life in the Amazon.

• Rainforest natural history: Explore the extraordinary diversity of reptiles, amphibians, insects, plants, and other wildlife with guides who understand this environment firsthand.

Our approach is hands-on, immersive, and rooted in respect for the people and places that make this expedition possible. Rather than simply passing through the rainforest, you’ll have opportunities to participate, practice, ask questions, and develop a deeper appreciation for the skills required to live there.

A Night Beneath the Canopy

When the day’s activities are over, the adventure continues. Settle into your hammock beneath the rainforest canopy and experience the Amazon after dark. The sounds of insects, frogs, birds, and other nocturnal wildlife create a living soundtrack unlike anything you’ll encounter at home. Get deep into it with night time activities including herping, spearfishing, and nocturnal safaris. 

Each day brings new opportunities to explore, learn, and challenge yourself. Each night offers a chance to appreciate just how alive the rainforest truly is.

Hands on, knives on! 

At Bushcraft Global, we believe the best way to understand an environment is to spend time in it, learn from the people who know it best, and develop practical skills through firsthand experience. Working with many knife companies, including Tanimboca knives, TOPS, Condor, and more, we enjoy bringing a hands on portion of the world of the jungle, making crafts, and tools for survival, during the immersion. 

This is your opportunity to step beyond conventional travel, experience the Amazon at ground level, and build a deeper connection with its extraordinary natural and cultural heritage, and hands on jungle craftsmen in touch with the environment around them. 

The Amazon is waiting.
