Survival/challenge for 15 days
I did a survival/challenge trip for 7 days and stayed 8 more days in Jersualem, Sergio's native community (my guide) The organization was impeccable, I always felt accompanied by Sergio, he was very hospitable, attentive and close, as well as Hector, a really trusted person, takes his job very seriously and professionally and it is rating that he really wants you to have the best experience possible. During the crossing, I had the possibility to see an anaconda, monkeys, macaws, toads, alligators and other animals. Also the coexistence with the native community was very nice, they received me with very warmth.

Adventure of a Lifetime
If you want to experience the Amazon and have an adventure of a lifetime this is the trip for you. It is a unique way to see the Amazon that will also challenge you. I did the 15 day challenge and Hector, Dennis, Angel, and Alberto were very helpful throughout the trip. They taught me how to survive through fishing and hunting, build shelter, make a raft, set up camp, navigate with a compass, etc. They want you to learn and make an extra effort to teach you the skills while experiencing the challenge themselves. Hector was very helpful with planning this trip and even let me customize certain aspects such as the length of time and how much food to bring. This is one of the best businesses I have come across throughout my travels.

The most epic adventure of my life
I completed the Advanced 15 Day Jungle Survival course on my own back in November 2024. It was the most epic adventure of my life, and one of the most challenging and rewarding experiences I’ve ever had. Amazon Explorers essentially make the most realistic, extreme jungle survival situations accessible. The course was a combination of army survival techniques with indigenous skills and knowledge, all delivered by experts who were incredible. Constantly battling heat, humidity and hunger whilst fully immersed in the jungle taught me resilience, resourcefulness, determination and mental / physical strength. I walked away with a deep sense of accomplishment and a wealth of practical survival skills. This was an awesome adventure... And the hot shower, food, bed and clean dry clothes when I got back to Iquitos were damn good. Thank you Tito, Angel, Dennis, Hector & Geilier.. Huge respect Rupert (29, England)

Spectacular adventure in the jungle
This is the second time I have done an expedition with Amazon Explorer and it was spectacular, the efforts to always provide the best for the adventurer are evident. I really recommend this experience and this company to live a huge adventure.

A worthwhile life experience
I did this training with no previous experience and I really can't be happier that I did. All the equipment is excellent and they provided me with the knowledge necessary to fully perform alone in a jungle survival situation. It is not easy at all, a physical and mental challenge suitable for all those who really want to test their limits to extreme levels, but the feeling of passing this test is simply indescribable, they have to live it to know what it is. I recommend it and would do it again

15-Day Jungle Survival Training by Amazon Explorer: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Iquitos.
How much does 15-Day Jungle Survival Training by Amazon Explorer cost?
+
Prices start at $3,550 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Iquitos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 15-Day Jungle Survival Training by Amazon Explorer take?
+
Plan for about 360 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Iquitos is not rushed.
Is 15-Day Jungle Survival Training by Amazon Explorer worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Iquitos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 15-Day Jungle Survival Training by Amazon Explorer?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 15-Day Jungle Survival Training by Amazon Explorer suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 360-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 15-Day Jungle Survival Training by Amazon Explorer?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Iquitos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Iquitos and add a light layer if any part of the 360-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 15-Day Jungle Survival Training by Amazon Explorer start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Iquitos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Iquitos?
+
On Outty we rank every Iquitos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Pacaya Samiria Mystical 3 Days, 4 days 3 nights on the banks of the Amazon River, Amazing Jungle 3Days 2Nights - Amazon Wonder Expeditions. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Iquitos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Iquitos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
