I love your films. They remind me of kayaking my father taught me when I was a child and the kayak trips I had into rivers. Have you ever seen a jaguar live in the Amazon forest?
Thanks! I have not seen a jaguar live, only heard them around my camp at night. I see tracks in the mud and sand on every trip and know they are nearby watching me. Thanks for your comment.
@@IncanExpeditions Thanks for the information:) Yes, most of the time it is the jaguars that see us and not us noticing them :) :) I wish I could see one one day :) Maybe from a safe distance :)
Next one will have hints of The Living Daylights. Dora the Explorer is the only one who knows how to get to the Amazoco. haha Thanks a lot for watching.
I don’t know if you will read this but my friends and I are from UC Berkley and we decided todo a expedition to Vale do Javari ,Brazil and we are going to pack raft into the Itui River. We heard there are un-contacted tribes ( we don’t want to make contact by the way) but we want to find a new species of tree frog that is rumored to be their. Do you have any advice when going near them so me and my friends don’t make it on the news. Anyways great video 😊!
I would always talk to the locals about what they know about the un-contacted tribes. It may be a seasonal thing where the tribe only goes to your area certain times of the year. For example in this video they come down to the river to collect turtle eggs once a year. Also, be prepared to be stopped by the authorities as they are there to protect you (or them) and can pull you over on the river at anytime. Honestly there are lots of new tree frog species and I first went on a trip more than 20 years ago on the Huallaga R. in northern Peru and there was a tree frog specialist. I would pick an area without indigenous and plenty of tree frogs. They do shoot arrows without asking questions :)
@@IncanExpeditions Hey thanks for responding and for the advice! We stayed for 6 weeks overall in the Amazon and only 10 days in the Itui River. We got pulled over by the river police and force back to Atalaia do Norte. After that we decided to go to Jutai river where it was okay to find new tree frogs. We didn’t find any new tree frogs but we did find: Red eyed tree frog, Amazon milk frog, and also the Goliath frog. We heard they found a Golden poison frog near by, but they only known to be in Colombia , (specifically on the coast). We didn’t know at the time. Anyways I hope you read this comment again and had a great new year.
@@peytondailey6108 I'm glad to know you had a safe trip. I suppose the river police made you turn back due to the indigenous in the area? Were you able to get any packrafting in? If you come to Peru I can take you up a creek where I'm sure you can find new species and no people. The video is here if you're interested: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6WQaZeaIkvY.html Thanks for the update!
I started off with Sevylor Super Caravelles because they are so cheap and now I have Alpackas. Durability is most important followed by weight then the real deciding factor for me was color. I can't drag a bright yellow or red boat through such a pristine green environment. I would gag on it. Earthy colors are fine. In other words brand is less important if they offer green or brown colors, but that's just me.
@@IncanExpeditions sevlor make packrafts? Not only do i hate loud colors i also hate it when they are branded with some flashy decals. 'Super sports club 2000' etc etc.
@@olivere5497 I completely agree. I can't stand anything that sticks out. Unfortunately these pool toys are mostly loud but I have seen a couple which were mostly green. You may want to look into getting a Caravelle and cutting off the outer hull which I guess people are calling "slackrafting". Of course I wouldn't know how to figure out what the inner color would be, hopefully grey. Good luck and keep me posted!

@@travellinginpictures5972 I think "Gavilan" is the general name for any hawk. The locals up there probably just call any hawk a "Gavilan". I could be wrong. It could be a "Roadside Hawk" which is very common which I've seen both in jungle and subtropical around Choquequirao.
People have been shot with arrows. We were warned by both local communities and a SERNANP (government) worker. It is more dangerous during certain times of the year when the indigenous come down to the river to collect turtle eggs.
yes...I live here. The people referred to as "non contacted" (are naked and live deep in the jungle without contact with the outside world) are wild savages. They will come into the contacted tribes areas and kill and loot. If you are up in their area they will shoot arrows at you just as you would shoot a deer.
On that trip we were warned by a representative of the Ministerio de la Cultura who was also on the river at that time. He told us we shouldn't be there during that month because the indigenous usually come down to collect Taricaya turtle eggs. The indigenous have been known to shoot arrows and ask questions later. I doubt they're angry but then again the only outsiders who venture into areas like these are loggers who are cutting down their trees. Watch "The Emerald Forest" (1985). It's one of my top 3.
