Back from the Amazon Jungle - Preview



This was an exciting adventure, well documented by our cameras. A lot of stories we have recorded straight from the mouth of the team members in real time on the ground.
Did they fear for their life...? absolutely did. Organized retreat to a safer location...? had to do it! Did they quickly sharp sticks to spears using their machetes...? oh yeah! very quick! Yes they did!
All was there: team anxiety, sleepless nights, excitement, physical and mental endurance challenges, hunts for food, unique encounter incidents with the jungle wildlife and with the Amazonian indigenous people, and more.
Many real adventure elements I was hoping for has happened on this expedition.
Will EXPEDITION AMAZON's adventurers join me on my next adventures? In a heartbeat...so they say.
The up coming meet up event of Sat. Mar.20, 2010 is about telling these stories by the people I have lead throughout the jungle. Video journal will be presented as well as free beer and BBQ. (see details on Eco-Planet Adventure facebook event page).
Hope to see you there.

For our fans and friends out of Florida and from around the world, we will stream live again, broadcasting the event via Ustream.tv.com. Will send you the broadcast details soon. You can sit then by your computer and interact live with EXPEDITION AMAZON team, online. (sorry, no free beer and BBQ for you...Your computer set cannot serve such :-)

Your in Adventures,
Mickey

February 2010 EXPEDITION AMAZON adventure is a GO!

At this time, we wrapping up all preparations for the new Exploration journey to scout uncharted grounds in the Amazon Basin - deep within the dense Primary tropical Rainforest of Ecuador, where the footprints of men are sparse, yet tracks from wildlife are always abundant! Reserve your spot today and save: http://www.ecoplanetadventure.com/interest.html

It is a challenging multi-sport and jungle exploration adventure that begins in the Andes' high altitude volcanoes mountains, down the Amazon dense Rainforest and ends up at the Equator. It includes dugout canoe rides, jungle trekking, Volcano climbing, mountain biking, white-water rafting, spectacular waterfall repelling and more.

First day at the Rainforest will begin with a jungle survival training day, led by Amazonian native jungle survivalists' pros and by our Special Forces veterans' team. jungle Expedition begins right after with river rafting on self made Balsa rafts - Teams competition!

The Feb. 2010 challenging Jungle expedition will start at Pavacachi, a small and isolated native community of Amazonian Quichua – located several hundred miles deep in the rural tropical Rainforest of Ecuador, which can be reached only by a small aircraft via air travel. Bearing east towards Peru on Curaray river and then up the Cononaco river towards Baumeno we will ride dugout canoes on a 6 to 7 day river voyage. We will arrive at a juncture where the Curaray and Cononaco Rivers meet and where the Tropical wilderness is dense and thriving! This landmark location is also one of the sites where the indigenous Huaorani tribes are known to thrive. Eco Planet expedition team will join them in exploration of the diverse Amazon ecosystem, surviving off the land and seeking out incredible wild life, exotic plants, and species - some of which have yet to be discovered!

This challenging adventure will be lined with muddy foot-paths and river passageways, sleeping in tents along the rivers' lagoons and on the rivers' banks. Using dugout canoes and other regional resources, we will pioneer new grounds of eco-travel for the future benefit of our fellow Eco Planet Adventurers.
