MEETING THE FROG
On Day 6, You Will Have the Unique Privilege of Meeting Robinson, a Member of the Matsés Tribe.
As part of the course, Robinson will guide us on an extraordinary night walk deep into the jungle in search of Kambo frogs in their natural habitat. Under the moonlit canopy, we will venture through the lush, vibrant rainforest, where Robinson will share his profound knowledge of the land, its creatures, and the ancient traditions of the Matsés people.
This captivating experience offers a rare glimpse into the traditional methods of harvesting Kambo as practiced by the Matsés. Robinson will demonstrate the sacred rituals involved in collecting the frog’s secretions, shedding light on how these practices have been passed down through generations, and how they align with the Matsés’ deep respect for nature and the spirit of Kambo. This intimate, hands-on experience will allow you to witness the entire process—from the search for the frog to the careful extraction—giving you a deeper connection to the sacred medicine and its roots in indigenous culture.
