A humid dawn slices through the canopy as a speedboat cuts across the tannin-dark water toward a narrow channel. Guests disembark under a green ceiling where mosquitoes stitch the air and the forest seems to breathe around them. Over four days and three nights, participants sleep in hammocks with mosquito nets, paddle flooded channels at first light, and follow narrow trails where the guide points out medicinal plants and the flash of a monkey between trunks.
