INTO THE WILD

Travel remote mountains, rainforest rivers, wildlife-rich wetlands, Indigenous communities and deep jungle expedition routes across Guyana.

Where the map still has blanks.

In 2025, our team travelled with Patamona guides into a remote cave system in the Pakaraima Mountains containing remarkable ancient rock art known only through local knowledge and oral history.

Experiences like this shape how we approach jungle expeditions in Guyana. Not as sightseeing tours, but as journeys into landscapes that remain deeply connected to the people who live there.

Travel by river, forest trail, and mountain route alongside Indigenous guides whose families have moved through these regions for generations. These are expeditions built around genuine access, remote environments, and the experience of going far beyond the ordinary.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know before booking your expedition

Yes. Our guests are part of the expedition team rather than passengers.
Exactly what this involves depends on the expedition, but you should expect to participate in everyday camp life. This can include setting up and breaking down camp, collecting firewood and water, helping with group equipment and contributing to the practical jobs required to keep the expedition moving.
Our guides and local team manage the expedition and the specialist work, but everyone contributes according to their ability.
For us, this is an important part of expedition travel. You are not simply watching an expedition take place around you; you are part of it.

Not necessarily. Many of our expeditions require no specialist technical training or previous expedition experience.
However, some expeditions are physically demanding and may involve long trekking days, difficult terrain, paddling, carrying equipment or extended periods in remote environments. A smaller number may have specific experience or physical requirements.
Every expedition is different, which is why we provide a difficulty level and explain the physical requirements on the individual expedition page.
If you are uncertain about your experience or fitness, contact us. We can give you a realistic assessment of whether a particular expedition is suitable for you.

For much of an expedition, the rainforest becomes our home.
We primarily sleep in hammocks beneath tarps, either in individual camps or shared expedition camps depending on the journey. Some itineraries also include nights in indigenous communities, lodges or other simple accommodation along the route.
Meals are prepared in camp, water is collected locally and treated where necessary, and daily life revolves around travelling, establishing camp, cooking, maintaining equipment and preparing for the next stage of the journey.
It is a simple way of living, but one that quickly becomes part of the expedition experience.

Yes. Our expeditions are not luxury tours.
Depending on the itinerary, you should be comfortable sleeping in hammocks, bathing in rivers and creeks, using basic forest toilets, getting wet and muddy, and living without many of the conveniences you have at home.
That doesn’t mean we deliberately make things uncomfortable. We establish functional camps, eat properly and carry the equipment needed to operate effectively in the jungle. But when you travel into genuinely remote areas, simplicity is part of the experience.
A willingness to adapt is often more important than previous expedition experience.

Our expeditions take many different forms depending on the objective and the area we are trying to reach.
Some involve multi-day overland journeys through rainforest and mountains, while others travel deep into the interior by river, canoe, 4×4 or a combination of different forms of transport. Objectives can range from reaching remote waterfalls and mountains to exploring little-visited river systems, indigenous territories and areas of historical or archaeological interest.
What they share is that these are genuine journeys into remote Guyana. The route, logistics and challenges of reaching the destination are an important part of the expedition itself.

Yes. We provide a significant amount of the specialist equipment needed for our expeditions.
Depending on the journey, this can include hammocks, tarps, rucksacks, dry bags, machetes and other group and expedition equipment. This means you do not need to purchase an entire expedition setup before joining us.
You will receive a detailed equipment list for your particular expedition explaining exactly what we supply and what you need to bring personally.
If you already own equipment you particularly like using, you are welcome to discuss bringing it with us. We can advise whether it is suitable for the conditions in Guyana.
