Off-the-beaten track expedition to the territory of the Matses tribe. This is a hard jungle program to one of the most remote areas of the Amazon rainforest, located near the Peru-Brazil borderline. Little exploration has been done and is inaccessible for most tourists to this non-touristic indigenous people. The trip is open to highly motivated, interested people who have the attributes of adaptability, versatility and are in good condition both physically and mentally.

incredible experience with Hector and his Matses team

Published on Oct, 2024

I have done many various expeditions in different outdoor conditions and very remote areas, so I did not have much expectations other then logistics, and organization, but I have found out that Hector (with his Matses team) is a true professional with really serious experiences in jungle. No matter for which trip one would like to go with him, I would not have a single concern about anything. He is responsible and very reliable about just anything you agree about or discuss together. Definitely would like to plan more trips with Hector and his crew, with even much less or none of the "touristic" kind of services, as I feel fully confident about what to expect from his planning, organization and logistic. He even helped us a lot to sort sort out other things and problems we faced outside of our program. Hector, big thanks for all my group and hope to plan and do again with you some other serious things in the future :-)

Once in a lifetime experience

Published on Oct, 2024

The guides were great. It was a wonderful exciting trip. Hector is a very experienced guide; we never felt afraid. The Matses tribe are such beautiful, kind people. We learned so much about the jungle during this trip. Me and my family are so happy we choose Amazon Explorer.....once in a lifetime experience. Thank you Hector.

The best experience of my like

Published on Aug, 2024

This was one of my best experience of my life. You can come in contact with local Matsés people in a very respectful way, no turistic at all. The organization was perfect, you can trust them. Really is an experience you will never forget. A lot of emotions and time to share with the local community. Hector and his staff is very helpful and respectful. They take care of you in every moment till the very end. Really this is the most beautiful journey of my life

An experience never to be forgotten

Published on Aug, 2024

Amazon Explorer offers top quality. My partner and I booked the 15-day Wildlife Tracking Quest. All arrangements were met, from the hotel pick-up to the drop-off 15 days later. Hector ensures you lack nothing. No detail escapes him. And the team from the Matse tribe is incredible. It was an honor to witness their passion and expertise. The location deep in the Amazon is also unique. The program is entirely tailored to your own wishes. An experience never to be forgotten.

The Best form to live te jungle

Published on Jul, 2024

An impressive trip that far exceeded expectations. I don't think there are any opportunities like this left to be able to enter virgin lands and without a doubt the best way to experience the Amazon in your own skin. The team was a 10, all professional and guaranteeing the smooth running of the expedition all the time and the towns we visited were truly wonderful, I hope to be able to return soon
