AMAZON GUIDING SERVICES

I am the only person in the world who has paddled each of the main headwater streams of the Amazon, and a river guide myself, so I would like to offer my services to anyone interested in descending the entire Amazon from any of its sources. This can be down the Apurimac, Marañon, Urubamba, or Mantaro.

My services will provide logistics, maps, equipment (rafts/kayaks/etc), guiding, and arranging all accommodations during the 4-6 weeks of descent down from source to the end of the Andes. I will guide you on on the water as much as is possible in kayak or raft, but some sections such as near the source must be hiked.
