Support Communities in the Amazon Through Tourism

Our goal is to promote nature conservation thought community-based tourism in Brazilian protected areas.

To do this, we will bring two community-member representatives from Amazonas state to visit community-based tourism in Pará state. The community-members will participate in a week-long expedition with a group of tourists. They will visit traditional communities along the Amazon river. During this expedition, there will be many opportunities for the community-members to learn, reflect on, and share knowledge about tourism experiences from these different Amazonians states.

This educational campaign contributes to an existing partnership among the private sector, non-profits, and Brazilian governmental agencies.


In exchange for your generous contribution to our project, we will provide the following rewards:

$1 to $10               - Photo via email 
$10 to $20            - Video via email
$20 to $50            - Paddle Sticker

Above $1500       - Six days Outrigger Canoe Expedition in the Amazon river (departing from Santarem city, Brazil)


During the expedition, the community-members will visit protected areas where traditional communities promote tourism with many different activities, including forest trail walks where local guide talk about the different plants they use for medicine, or to build their houses. Local communities also produce handicrafts and natural products, like honey from stingless bees, among others.
