What can I expect from a jungle cooking experience?You can expect a short to moderate trek along a river, a chance to learn about jungle plants and cook over an open flame, a wealth of jungle humor and of course, the splendid taste of fresh ingredients.
-
How long is the jungle cooking experience?Typically, the experience lasts a full day (6-8 hours). However, we can adapt to your needs and wishes... Just let us know what a perfect day sounds like to you! P.S. ask us about the multi-day jungle cooking experience!
-
Do I need any cooking or "wilderness" experience to join?No previous experience is required! Our expert guides will walk you through every step, making it fun and accessible for everyone.
-
What if I have an allergy or dietary restriction?That is no worries at all! We will be cooking together, so you will know exactly what goes into your food. Just let us know in advance and tell us a little bit about your dietary requirements - we will accommodate to every need!

-
What type of food will we be cooking?We'll cook traditional local dishes using local ingredients, many of which we will source ourselves directly from the jungle. Let us know if you prefer to try your hand at fishing as we go upriver, or would rather stay veggie for the day.
-
Is it safe to eat wild food?Yes, it is absolutely safe! Our experienced guides have lived near the jungle their entire life and know how to find ingredients that are safe to consume. In fact, without the contamination that often affects foods we find in a shop, plants that grow in the wild are 100% organic and are a very healthy option!
