I was invited to experience the traditions and lifestyle of the Kichwa people. From witnessing their traditional dances to joining the celebration myself, they showed me a side of the Amazon most outsiders never get to see.

But this adventure became even crazier when we explored a wild beach-party town packed with thousands of people, walked through streets taken over by monkeys, discovered hidden jungle lagoons, and came face-to-face with incredible Amazonian wildlife.
