About us
We believe that knowing is the first step to preserving.
DC Expedecios was born with the purpose of creating authentic experiences of fish watching and scientific expeditions in the Amazon, connecting people to nature in a profound and responsible way.
Through ornamental fish observation tourism, we generate income for the Amazonian people, create awareness of one of the world's largest aquatic biodiversity hotspots and maintain the forest standing.
Each expedition directly contributes to:
✓ Income generation for local communities
✓ Appreciation of traditional knowledge
✓ Conservation of Amazonian ecosystems
Real Impact
