Arrival

The participants will arrive in the capital for a meetup; from there, we will fly by small planes to a landing strip in the Rupununi. Then, we continue our travel to Surama, where all guests get one night at the lodge and are equipped for the river expedition.

River expedition 

Our remote canoe expedition Amazon starts at the Burro Burro River, close to Surama Eco-lodge. From here, we get into our canoes with a safety boat and guides from the community. We will start our journey. The Burro Burro river is famous for its fantastic wildlife and gallery forest. The small river system gives participants a chance to enjoy both sides as the group silently paddles down with the current. Every day we stop for lunch, and later we stop at a suitable camp spot.

Learn to be on a remote expedition

All participants will get an intimate relationship with expedition life as they will be responsible for their camp and partake in all aspects of camp life. This is demanding but leaves all who joined with a great lesson and valuable knowledge for future expeditions. The nature of a remote canoe expedition Amazon is that we some days we will stop early and get time to go and fish for some of the many creatures that live in the river, whether it is vampire fish, black piranha, or giant catfish. There will also be a great chance of trying to fish with local techniques.

Great chance for wildlife spotting

This is an excellent chance to spot wildlife while on the river during the day, and as we have an aluminium boat with an engine, we can go out at night and spot some of the nocturnal inhabitants. Remember to bring a camera.

Ending trip 

On the final day of our remote canoe expedition Amazon, we get collected by boat to a small lodge near Kurupukari crossing. Here we will have the last night and celebrate our accomplishment. After that, we will go to Georgetown overland or via flight together. Our final night is spent out enjoying ourselves before participants travel back to their respective destinations.
