Amazon Paramotor Expedition 2026 — Fly the Rainforest

SCENE 01

The call sheet

Eleven days. One boat, one crew, one clear plan — and the discipline to change it when the sky says so.

DAY 1–2

Arrival · Manaus

Transfers, gear checks, expedition briefing. The boat becomes home.

DAY 3

Shakedown flights

Short flights over the Rio Negro. Wings tuned, radios tested, nerves earned.

DAY 4–8

Deep expedition

The boat moves at night; you wake somewhere new. Dawn flights over channels and canopy.

DAY 9

Reserve day

Weather insurance. Bonus flying if the Amazon allows; river culture if she doesn't.

DAY 10–11

Return · wrap

Final window, farewell dinner, transfers. Credits roll, you start planning the sequel.

Straight answers

Do I need my own equipment?

Is insurance included?

Travel and flying insurance is mandatory and not included. We can point you to providers used by previous expedition members.

How do payments work?
