Step by step, one customized journey at a time, Jackie McCann pulled from her extensive experience leading student travel groups, her firsthand knowledge of the Amazon and the many personal and professional connections with locals in Peru to build a solid foundation for this extraordinary company. Jamazon Journeys has traveled with groups large and small for 7 years and became an official llc in 2021. Partnering with NCGE Around the world in 2022, this year’s journey will be the 4th annual NCGE expedition.
