The journey

An eight-day Amazon immersion.

Begin with two nights in Alter do Chão, in the Brazilian Amazon, before spending six days and five nights aboard a traditional riverboat. This is an invitation to experience the forest, the river, and the communities who call it home.

Ayurvedic routine, breathwork sessions, visits to river communities, a sacred walk to the ancient Samaúma tree, Amazon riverboat living, and an ayahuasca ceremony are woven into the experience. Awaken your senses in the heart of the Amazon.
