This is a page where I’ll put all the Jungle Trip stuff I can find..hopefully this will answer as many questions as possible

Here is an brief extract from the film..taking frog poison with the Matses in Peru. Disturbing footage not suitable for children..

Here is a Youtube video that uses part of the soundtrack of Jungle Trip to make a rather lovely tune,,Deep Fall Ayahuasca by Gaudi..

ahhhh and someone has uploaded the entire documentary on to Google Videos so you can watch it all online…

FAQs…

People often write and ask me questions about the experience of taking ayahuasca and filming Jungle Trip…

Dear Mr. Gibbon,

I hope this finds you well.

My name is xxx from xxx. I had my first Ayahuasca experience one month ago.

I have just finished watching your film Jungle Trip…

I have to say even watching was pretty intense.
Would you mind letting me know how you feel about this experience now, 9 years later?
How do you reflect upon your connection with Don Dimitrio (milipede)?

All best,

xxx

Hi!

Thanks for your email and for getting in touch. Yes..filming it was pretty intense too! There is something uniquely paranoia-inducing about being interviewed while under the influence of ayahuasca. But ten years later I’m still very glad I did it – both the film and the ayahuasca.

I am still very grateful to all the shamans who invited us in to the ceremonies, and Don Demetrio especially – he took me under his wing and did that induction ceremony with the millipede. I am still musing on whether these “other powers” exist in the form that Don Demetrio believes in..personally I suspect not, but respect the abilities he (and the others) have for inducing a healing response in their patients.

I’ll let you know if I change my mind!

best wishes

Piers
