Paulo

Languages spoken by Paulo

I am a son of the Juma River, one of the best-known and most magical places in the Amazon. I have been working as a tour guide for approximately 9 years in different parts of the Amazon rainforest, leading fishing adventures, birdwatching tours, and jungle expeditions.

I have also worked with local Amazon communities to exchange knowledge about medicinal plants, Indigenous customs, fishing, and survival techniques. I believe the Amazon is one of the most fantastic places on Earth and that we have a responsibility to protect this beautiful part of the world.

This is why I am so happy to be part of Amazon Adventure Tours. It gives me the opportunity to share my knowledge about the Amazon while helping protect the environment and local communities.

I am originally from Maraã, Amazonas, and a caboclo riverine native of the Bom Futuro community, in the heart of the Amazon rainforest. Raised in close contact with Indigenous and riverine communities, I developed a deep knowledge of the region’s culture, traditions, and biodiversity.

Mikeias

Languages spoken by Mikeias

My name is Mikeias, I am 39 years old, and for the past 8 years I have worked as a native guide deep in the Amazon jungle.

But my connection with the rainforest began long before I became a guide. I grew up in the heart of the Amazon, surrounded by the rivers, trees, wildlife, and native communities that have been my home and my greatest teachers.

My family has lived along the rivers of the Amazon for generations. From them, I inherited knowledge that cannot simply be learned from a book — knowledge passed down from one generation to the next. I learned about the medicinal plants of the jungle, the trees, the animals, the rivers, and the many secrets of the rainforest.

The Amazon has taught me how to live with nature rather than against it.

I know how to hunt, how to fish, how to navigate the jungle, and how to survive when there is nothing around me but wilderness. I know how to read the forest, recognize useful plants, understand the signs of animals, and find my way through one of the most challenging and beautiful environments on Earth.
