Survival Skills/Camping
During the whole stay in the EcoCamp our indigenous guides will teach you about medicinal plants and survival skills. With the knowledge that you will acquire you should be able to survive in the jungle by yourself, although hopefully that won't prove necessary!
The jungle is one big pharmacy, and even though there are many poisonous animals and plants there are also many natural medicines to combat them. Your guides will teach you about how to identify poisonous or dangerous insects, plants and animals so you won't get caught out! It's really eye opening to see the huge array of healing plants that nature provides. |
Also, in the hypotetical case of getting lost in the jungle, our guides will show you how to access clean water and find food in the most unlikely of places, since this is essential to survival in the rainforest. Water gathering using vines and the construction of traps for catching birds and fish are priceless survival techniques to learn on the trail. Every native guide knows how to call animals by imitating them to locate and attract wild pigs, birds, monkeys among others. This is your opportunity to master the caiman grunt or howler whoop alongside the experts. |
