January 2011-Eco-Planet challenging exploration journey has begun!


EXPEDITION AMAZON 2011

Hello friends, fans, and E-PA team’s families!


At this time Eco-Planet challenging exploration journey has begun. We, back at home, are wishing all our team members an amazing adventure, filled with adrenalin rush and great discoveries!

Scouting uncharted grounds of the Amazon basin in Ecuador while pushing themselves to new limits is not something an average traveler will do! We greatly respect the enthusiasm and passion for nature by our Eco-Planet’s Adventurers team, and appreciate their adventure spirit that brought them here today.

With Mickey Grosman leading EXPEDITION AMAZON, we are confident that the team will experience an extraordinary journey! Mickey, the founder of ECO-PLANET ADVENTURE, his life experience and years of service in the IDF-Israeli Defense Special Forces, accompanied by his immense energy and endless courage prepared him to overcome all obstacles on his way to achieve such a dream-adventure. Months of preparations, logistic, innovations and creativity while staying in the rural jungle and living among the Amazon indigenous resulted in this amazing adventure we wish to share with you today.

From the snowcap glaciers of the Andes at 16,000 feet altitude, down to the remote jungle of the Amazon basin at about sea level, EXPEDITION AMAZON is all about daily challenges: The team do a fair amount of trekking, hiking in dense jungle environment, Mainly over raggedy terrain, climbing, off-road biking, white water rafting and rappelling breathtaking waterfall canyons. They ride primitive dugout canoes along the Amazon Basin Rivers, participate in our jungle survival training “boots on the ground” class, and interact with the remote Amazonian indigenous people. Endless wildlife specious, fauna and flora that the rainforest offers holds a great probability to be viewed by our team; Monkeys, parrots, tapirs, Pink dolphins, Piranhas and toucans, Anacondas and Jaguars, are only few to mention.

The Amazonian indigenous families that host E-PA team are fully involved in the journey’s daily activities and share with us their culture and life experience in the tropical rainforest. They are grateful of our visit at their land. The Eco-tourism program we at E-PA brought into their small remote communities is a new way that provides them with an alternative source of income and a direct economic incentive that benefitting as a result the local conservation of the Amazonian tropical rainforest. This journey today supports a great cause and helps in the long run to buy oxygen for our planet and for our future generations.
