RUMBLE IN DE JUNGLE-
Our Purpose: To bring music and support to the abandon, to the orphans. To bring assistance to those who have dedicated their lives with their commitment to care for and educate the next generation
Our goal: A journey across the Andes Mountains marked deep with lost civilizations that cry for discovery and protection. A journey onward to the
Chachapoyas Amazonas region and into the Amazon rainforest. Here the Indian villages of El Chino, Buenavista and San Pedro await to share their music with the Rumble in de Jungle.
Pre-trip: international arrival into Lima.
Orientation meeting.
Opportunity to visit the Centro Preventivo Salamanca orphanage and local
government officials.
(The mission of Centro Preventivo Salamanca is to provide a temporary home to
the homeless and abandoned children of Peru. All of the children stay here until
a judicial decision is made on their behalf. Most of the children are placed in
orphanages throughout the country. Some are more fortunate and are adopted.)
Overnight Posada del Inca Miraflores (may be for 2-nights depending on the
arrival times of everyone).
The Rumble in da Jungle trek has been tailor made for this once in a lifetime expedition. It has been made up into 3 trips so everyone can take part in this historic event. You can combine all the trips or just go on the one you have time for. The whole trip takes us from Lima, Peru to Manaus in Brazil. We’ll see first hand the problems faced by the children in South America, Trek through the cloud rainforest of the Andes, visit remote tribal villagers, Arceology sites, One of the worlds highest waterfalls with an education of the rainforest ecology from experts in their fields.
All this with the most unique set of music concerts ever staged, all along the way.

TRIP 2 - 3 Days
August 14th - Iquitos
Trip 2- August 14th – 20th Rumble in da Jungle
You can meet the team in Iquitos and journey to the rumble in da Jungle. Our destination: The Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo Reserve, home to a number of indigenous
Indians. The Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo is the only nature reserve in Peru that is
managed by a local community for conservation.
This part of the Amazon rainforest is known to have the greatest diversity of
flora and fauna found in the world.
Located on the Tahuayo River the Indian villages of El Chino, Buenavista and San
Pedro are part of a communal reserve developed to protect the rainforest and its
natural resources. The Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo reserve is one of the most biodiverse
areas on earth with many species not found anywhere else in the world. Numerous
species have yet to be named by scientists.
Each village is built along the riverbank as rivers are the main routes of
transportation in the region. Houses are raised on platforms as the rivers flood
during the rainy season. Thatched roofs made of palm leaves woven tightly
together are able to keep even the strongest downpours out. Open fires are used
to cook food and folks sleep in hammocks under mosquito netting.
20th August- Back to Iquitos by boat.
In Iquitos 3 days and 2 nights in the Canopy
Playing on the Boulevard and central square (Plaza de Armas)
Every weekend the Boulevard (think a South American version of Key West Florida's Malory Square performers) has hundreds of people milling about watching street performers and just enjoying life.
There is a zoo/rehab facility there with a 125-acre gorgeous lake and a beach surrounded by 900-acres of beautiful rainforest! It is pretty full on the weekends with people playing soccer and volleyball on the "beach" and swimming.
The world's longest canopy walkway (1/3 mile) and around 120 feet high! A breathless view above the rest of the rainforest! The main lodge is Air Conditioned with a pool on the Amazon then by boat to gig with Bora tribe
25th August
By boat to Manaus- Brazil
Trip 3
Meet the team in Manaus for the concert of a lifetime. More acts will fly into Manaus to perform with the Rumble in da Jungle musicians to celebrate the end of the adventure and to raise money to buy Rainforest. This gig will be fed to the outside world with the chance for the public to donate and hopefully we’ll be able to buy a substantial amount for our future generations. Here we will also be trekking into the jungle to meet tribal villages and Ecology issues.
