Trek through the Amazon Jungle to Monte Caburaí in northern Brazil, near Guyana (7 days)

I will guide you on this 7-day trek through the Amazon Jungle to Monte Caburai in northern Brazil, near Guyana, a trip that is challenging yet rewarding, as we will trek through difficult landscape and terrain, cross wild rivers, camp in the rainforest and take on the heat, humidity and rain, all while setting aside time to take in and admire the beautiful and exotic local flora and fauna.

Monte Caburai is a mountain standing 1465m high in the state of Manaus on the border of Brazil and Guyana, and is officially the Northernmost point of Brazil. Not much is known about the mountain itself, due to its extreme isolation and remoteness, with the nearest city being Boa Vista, some 200km away.

Our trip begins in the city of Boa Vista, where we will spend the day and night, and also dispense all relevant safety information and equipment.

The 2nd day involves flying out from Boa Vista to the Manalai community, as we fly over the mighty Amazon rainforest and see first-hand the terrain we will be trekking.

The subsequent 4 days are spent trekking our way to the summit of Monte Caburai, with each day entailing at least 6 hours of tough, intense hiking in the heat and humidity, with many water crossings to navigate.

There are many communities and villages of indigenous people we will meet along the way, and some of the colourful local animals we might come across include macaws, toucans, monkeys, sloths and anteaters.

After 4 intense days we reach Monte Caburai (weather and conditions permitting), a unique and rare achievement owing to the fact it has only been open to non-military people since 2005.

The views back over the lush green forest of the Amazon are truly special, and after a night of camping on the summit it is time to descend and head back to the Manalai Community, exhausted and proud at your achievement!

This trek is one of the most unique and rare experiences anyone can take on – book now to experience this thrill!
