Kingdom Journeys: Pioneers
Guyana to Colombia
This trip will pioneer a route overland across the northern parts of South America, starting in Georgetown, Guyana, and going to Belem in Northeastern Brazil. Then, participants will pioneer a route all the way down the Amazon, through Manaus, Leticia, and Iquitos. The trip will end in Colombia, intersecting with the World Race South America Route in Santa Marta.
The purpose of this trip is to do reconnaissance on route logistics and transportation options, gather country information (cost and safety), and find and develop potential men of peace. We have an urgent need for this information to prepare the way for the upcoming Expedition squad leaving in August 2016.
Participants need to be adaptable, okay with long, arduous overland travel, and passionate about pioneering and host development (specifically South American / Latino people). A strong logistical intuition and maturity is required, as participants will take responsibility for the majority of their own travel and accommodations.
