These expeditions provide opportunities to observe the region’s unique biodiversity, including flora and fauna, and to experience the cultures of indigenous communities inhabiting the area. Typical itineraries may involve river travel, jungle trekking, and wildlife observation.
The advantages of visiting this region are multifaceted, spanning ecological appreciation, cultural immersion, and support for local economies.
