Calling on cooks and foodies to join an intimate culinary boat tour of the Amazon Jungle in Brazil! Focused on food, culture, and especially local cooking, as well as the experiences other tours provide (see below).
We will interact with native indigenous people, fishers, and hunters on the Amazon river to learn about their practices. Cooking and sharing meals will provide context for our exposure to their local cuisine, culture and customs.
Other activities include: learning about the Majestic Amazon River, the Meeting of the Rivers, a Jungle Walk, Bird watching, exciting canoe trips and more. This is the first custom tour we are organizing so please share any requests for specific activities or excursions.
Limited to 4 participants. Reserve your spot now! First come first served! I look forward to engaging with you about this incredible experience!
