This is the Hakaui Valley on the remote island of Nuku Hiva in the Marquesas, French Polynesia.
With the nearest continental mass over 3000 miles away, this is one of the most remote islands on earth, and the Hakaui valley cannot be reached by road, plane, or anything other than a boat or a 17km hike from the nearest town of Taiohae.
The island itself is a full 3 hour flight from the capitol of Tahiti!
For this adventure, I'm seeing if I can survive for 24 hours in this jungle without electricity (other than minimal solar light), refrigeration, communication with the outside world, and the basic comforts we take for granted. Here they live off the grid, mostly living off the land foraging, growing their own food, and hunting for what they eat. This is true farm to table! This is a unique opportunity to see what it's like to live off the land, to be in harmony with the environment, and to get a peek into Marquesan culture.
I'm joining Ana and Tangy of Cannibal art for this adventure. Order Tangy's woodwork and/or book the adventure here: cannibal-art.com
