Jungle Bushcraft Course in Guyana
Wild Tales Inc & Back To Wilderness Jungle Bushcraft Course
Embark on an unprecedented bushcraft journey as Wild Tales Inc. joins forces with the esteemed British bushcraft provider, Back to Wilderness. Venture into Guyana’s heart, learning ancient Amerindian techniques from expert instructors of the North Rupununi’s Makushi tribe. This unique course, set against the magnificent canvas of the Amazon rainforest, awaits those keen to uncover secrets of one of the planet’s most biodiverse realms. While the course welcomes all, those with some bushcraft proficiency will find it particularly enriching.
Course Overview: This 13-day expedition, crafted by international and indigenous maestros, will empower you with advanced bushcraft techniques. From crafting traditional bushcraft tools and mastering the machete to understanding the deep-rooted secrets of the Amazon, you’ll be thoroughly engrossed in the vast spectrum of lessons.
Location: Rooted near the indigenous Surama enclave, the course intricately weaves Makushi Amerindian traditional rainforest practices. Though survival skills form the core, our primary aim remains to embrace and replicate time-tested conventional methods.
Bushcraft Immersion: Dive deep into the rainforest, oscillating between jungle and expedition camps. Construct tools, lay traps, and accompany indigenous guides during nocturnal hunts—every aspect of this course, from creating implements to building shelters, beckons active engagement.
