Come Explore the Jungle

duaut · 07-26-09, 12:41

Well, this one is a bit unusual for me, as I'm here to sell you something. The company that puts together two trips to Peru for me annually--they get most of the clients--feels they've tapped out their market at this point. But I am having too good a time taking people out to the deep Amazon green to toss in my jungle boots. So I'm going to have to get some people on my own to make my two January trips materialize.
Now I've already got a couple for the first trip, which begins on Saturday, Jan 9. That trip will run 12 1/2 days in Iquitos and the Jungle, then another 8 1/2 days in Cuzco/Machu Picchu, with one day of decompression from the jungle in Lima. I do the Iquitos/Jungle portion, then my friend Alan Shoemaker or Carolyn Melnyck take over for the mountains.Overall, the trip runs Jan 9, through Friday, Jan. 29.
The second trip will begin on Saturday, Jan 23 and run through Thursday, Feb 4. It's 12 1/2 days in Iquitos and the jungle, without the highland end of things.

What are the trips like? Magic, mystery, beauty, medicine, deep cleansing, changing. THey're about dirt under your fingernails, walks in the deep jungle, night canoing, swamp hiking, magic mushrooms, riverboats, fishing towns, jungle lakes, ayahuasca, the Matses' medicines sapo and nu-nu. They're about opening up spaces in your soul and letting go of nonsense you needn't carry around any longer. They're about spending time with the best team of associates I've ever been around. They're about pushing your limits and surpassing your capabilities. They're about fun, laughter, joy and occasional emotional terror when the medicines ask you to confront things you've long buried.

They're not physically difficult trips, though my staff and I can make them as difficult or easy as anyone wants. Want to haul through the jungle? One of my team will haul with you. Want to walk slower than the rest? One of my team will stay back with you. We will, in fact, outnumber you, so there will always be someone to do what you want to do, whether that's medicinal plant collecting, wild food foraging, painting jungle flowers...you name it,and if you let me know ahead of time, we'll figure out how to get it done for you.
So that's the pitch. 21 day trip costs $4000. If you only want to do the jungle, that's $2300; if you only want to do the mountains, that's $2100. The 12 1/2 day trip is $2300. We'll pick you up at the airport in Iquitos (airfare not included), and all hotels, ground transport, river transport, ceremonies, some food (all food in the jungle; some food in Iquitos/Lima/Cuzco) and jungle gear is included. You don't need much but an open heart and some walking around/food money for this trip.
A deposit of $500 will hold a space. Any questions you can message me here.
Oh, one more thing: there will be dirt under your fingernails and there will be mosquitoes some times. We'll have mats and mosquito nets to sleep on, and the best damned after-bite (Gorman's Jungle Juice) in the world, but there is no complaining on this trip. No bitching, no moaning, no whining. If I put you into a hotel with cold water, there is a reason for it (it's the only hotel with river views, for example). If I take you to a swamp, there's going to be something so spectacular there that the difficult walking will pale in comparison to the payoff.
So sorry to use this space as a billboard, but I'm itching to get back to the thick thick green and my team, so sign up and sign up quickly. Get it? Good. This trip is worth the money and more.

mycowarrier · 07-27-09, 21:35

Yea a trip like that has been one of my lifes dream. Unfortunatly the last two years have been a financial disaster for me. thanx for the offer to the Mycotopiates. I'm sure some will be able to go.

Mushrooms201 · 08-01-09, 07:31

Whoever gets to makes it please post your experiences, for those of us less fortunate. Hopefully someday....

Vincent · 08-08-09, 11:20

if i could go I would, but I don't think I can afford it as Im paying for college right now. Sounds awesome though.

ishkaboo · 08-10-09, 13:32

Ahh that is one of my dream vacations, unfortunately for me I cannot afford to do something like that at this time. Hopefully someday down the road...

growurown · 10-21-09, 23:34

Right! thats a whole new setting that would tend to freack me out if i started thinking of all the things around me that could harm or kill me! But i would still do it

Are you going to be able to bake the same kind of arrangments to go to Peru and Hike up a mountain with a Shaman?

Shroomette · 10-27-09, 09:45

This is the experience and trip that I have been discussing with Irishlion that I so, want to take. It would be my dream.

ou3308 · 10-27-09, 10:44

Can you help with a passport for a recent felon? I will be with you, or someone who does what you do, one of these days. Good luck.

sticky.mycelium · 10-27-09, 12:05

i want to go so bad. too bad im starting school again in january. do you have a website or something i can save? eventually im gunna be doing this i just need to get on solid ground before i can go spending 3 or 4 thousand dollars. i bet its totally worth it though. man south america sounds so amazing.

Jose_sixpac · 10-29-09, 11:21

I am booked with commitments until next Aug, that is if I am allowed to complete my engagements, I intend to be busy until then. if you do this yearly...I would like to attempt to make it once at least in the next few years, if possible.

No way I can attempt a trip of this magnitude at this time.

But it is a real good reason to get my passport in order, and learn a few more words.

How long in advance of the trip do you need an rsvp and deposit?
Is there any shots needed prior to departure?

Online Brochures by chance?

You tickled my fancy wit dis one mang...twit would be a Merry meet indeed.

Do tell us more, if you don't mind.

I got a fever...jungle fever~

Mushxmagik · 11-10-09, 20:52
