The expedition will take you deep into the Peruvian jungle and into the Amazon basin to trek and study the biodiversity of the area.
Start your journey to the Peruvian Amazon with British Exploring today and experience the biodiversity, hidden valleys, jungle mountains and cloud forest of the Amazon.
You will document your experience through creative media projects while taking part in conservation and sustainability studies to help further our understanding of the Amazon through scientific fieldwork, surveying wild monkeys, birds, snakes, butterflies and an array of reptiles.
The expedition has been designed to take you out of your comfort zone in a challenging yet safe environment, with a real focus on the skills and personal development you will gain from the experience. The safety and support of our Explorers is the cornerstone on which we build and develop an expedition from conception through to departure and return..

Life changing. I have learnt more about myself than I ever thought I could know, a journey of self-discovery. British Exploring attracts such a unique blend of people, you are definitely going to meet some friends for life - like minded people you never knew were out there that are just like you.

As we left the jungle, I realised what an experience I had just had. The bus journey was the first time in 3 weeks where I had been able to completely stop and reflect on my experience. I am certainly more willing to try new things and feel more confident in myself as a person.

From seeing Woolly Monkeys on the Pini Pini ridge, to a snake in our latrine, the British Exploring Peru trip was an unforgettable and unique experience. Although it was sometimes challenging physically and mentally, looking back on it now, I can safely say I enjoyed every minute.
