The rainforest of the Amazon jungle is home to many Indian tribes
from history like the Jivaro (the head hunters) and the Aucas (who
were first contacted in 1956) these people still maintain much of
their culture and traditional lifestyle. The historical names, often
coined as insults by outsiders, have now been replaced in favor
of the correct tribal names, the Shuar and the Huaorani .
The intrepid adventurer traveling with Safari can explore these
rainforests by dugout canoe , along the rivers of the upper Amazon,
while our guides explain the ways of the jungle. These rivers are
home to a variety of wildlife including piranha, caymen, electric
eel, pink dolphins and giant peiche, a variety of monkeys, river
otters, jaguars and other mammal species. Toucans, parrots, macaws
and the hundreds of other species of birds make the Amazon jungle
one of the best birding spots in the world. Safari offers weekly
camping expeditions to meet the Indigenous and to see the rainforest
they call there home.
