LIVING WITH THE 'LOCALS'

Discover how a typical family in the jungle lives!!

• Get away from civilization, the stress and the noise and become one with nature!
• Live the typical jungle way with a local family.
• Learn how they hunt, work in the field, cook, clean their clothes etc.
• Wake up with the sounds of nature.
• Splash your body in the early morning with natural cold water from tributaries and get even more awake with a good cup of coffee.

The family exists of father David, mother Graciéla and their 2 sons Hector and Pedro and last but not least their “pets” (two parakeets).

Some examples of what you can do and expect during your time with the family, except of course relaxation and enjoying the environment, are:

• Go with David whenever you want to. For example you can assist him when he is planting yucca or banana or when he is cutting firewood. It is also possible that he is going into the jungle looking for some medicinal plants, some palmito’s (a local delicacy), is going fishing during the night or is going to hunt for 2 or 3 days. You can go with him and learn the reality of living in the jungle.
• Learn the way of housekeeping in the jungle from Graciéla like washing clothes in the river and cooking in a natural way. Everything they do happens with respect for the nature!!!
• See the jungle life through the eyes of a child. Play with Hector and Pedro and see how they make their own toys like flyers. They can also learn you a lot about living in the jungle.

When you decide to choose for this adventure, you just have to inform us when you will arrive. Our interference will be minimal, because we want you to experience the real jungle life. You will be living according the rules of nature!!!

The only costs of this adventure are your own food, the transport to the family and the cost for using a hammock etc.
We will help you to buy your food and other needs. Of course you can also eat what the jungle brings you. If you like it, your days are not off. It depends on you. You can expend your stay for as long as you want.

Unfortunately, we can’t inform you about a price for staying with the family. It’s your own decision. You can pay them whatever you want depending on what the experience was worth to you. Do keep in mind that you are helping poor people who are living in the jungle.
