On a wing and a prayer, we commence. Squeeky clean and off to 12 days of low-fi off-grid camping deep in the Amazon with acoustic ecologist Gordon Hempton and warmly hosted by the indigenous Cofan tribe.
Our welcome crew in Quito, Ecuador includes members of the rural Cofan tribe - Fede, Emmy and Randy Borman who presides over the community welcomes Florida. Our USA team was small but deeply curious - Miriam a sound engineer and seasoned birder, Jessi a former paster turned life coach, Corvas an immersive designer who co-founded MeowWolf, and Adisa + myself.
As we dive in, the jungle canopy is enormous, thick and is referred to as the Earth's Lung.
