The jungle is calling. 🌿

This October, the GOES Foundation and Seahorse Point Nature Reserve are training the next generation of jungle guides — deep in the rainforests of Bastimentos Island, Bocas del Toro, Panama.

Over nine immersive days, participants move from the classroom to real expedition terrain across rainforest, coast, and marine ecosystems — and graduate with two internationally recognised certifications: Certified Jungle Guide and Wilderness First Aid, endorsed by the International Association of Jungle Guides.

What you'll build:
🧭 Expedition planning, navigation, and risk management
🚑 Wilderness first aid and emergency response
🌴 Tropical ecology, environmental interpretation, and bio-cultural learning
🐒 Group leadership, client care, and responsible guiding ethics

This first course is delivered in Spanish, built for local guides serving the international market — raising professional standards while strengthening livelihoods. Future courses will run in both English and Spanish. And part of every course fee subsidizes local trainees who would otherwise have no access to international-level certification.

This is what regeneration looks like on the ground: skilled people, thriving ecosystems, and stronger communities.
