Jungle Trip Policy
Fishing in the Amazon jungle represents one of the last frontiers in the fly fishing world. As with any such hyper-remote destinations, there can be challenges associated with offering a first-class experience in the ‘back of beyond’. In the Amazon, water level conditions will, on occasion, present such challenges.
The Amazon River annual water level cycles are not a simple equation, even for the most experienced local experts. Normally, high and low water levels here follow a fairly predictable monthly cycle, but climate changes and the effects of stronger or weaker El Nino and La Nina cycles can directly and immediately affect those levels.
Specifically, these EL Nino and La Nina events tend to impact the amount of rain in the headwaters of Amazon Rivers, which in turn affects the entire Amazon basin.
The Kendjam system has more than 250 kilometers of rivers and tributaries. This unique and extensive water system allows for incomparable flexibility.Though Kendjam season has been chosen to coincide with the best water conditions annually, it’s difficult to predict water levels, and this is one of the risks associated with fishing the Amazon. If you are not comfortable with the risk of the river levels being too high or low during your trip, then it is probably not the trip for you. You will not be refunded for water conditions that may not meet your expectations.
Requirements
For Entry and Exit Requirements for Travel to Brazil please check the following website: https://apply.joinsherpa.com/travel-restrictions
A) COVID CERTIFCATE
For vaccinated travelers with Covid certificate proof, a PCR test is not required before entering Indigenous Territory.
**Those who DO NOT have proof of vaccination will need to have a negative PCR test in Manaus before entering any of our destinations**. If needed, we can provide that PCR test with an extra cost of U$30.
In addition, if a client tests POSITIVE, we are going to roll over the trip into the same season -based on the availability- without any additional cost (except the international flight and/or commercial flight, that should be up to the clients). In case that we have availability for the following week to roll over the trip, the client can wait one week in the hotel in Manaus (all the cost should be covered by them). If we don't have any availability, unfortunately the client will lose his trip.
B) VISA

These citizens can require e-Visas through the portal https://brazil.vfsevisa.com/. The process is easy, and quick and if the requirements mentioned below are met, in a few days the applicant will receive the e-Visa on his or her e-mail
