This is an exciting opportunity to visit an exotic locale, experience Amazonian culture, learn rainforest ecology with expert biologists, and have tons of fun!
During the week of you'll visit 4 jungle lodges and a Canopy Walkway, located over a several hundred square mile area of some of the best rainforest in the Peruvian Amazon. You'll travel by boat upon the mighty Amazon river to reach these different lodges, each of which provides comfortable accommodations from which to explore the unique flora and fauna of the region.
You will enjoy hikes in the forest by both day and night and explore small rivers and lakes by boat. Investigate the treetop flora and fauna from a canopy walkway....high above the forest floor. Experience up close the cry of colorful tropical birds, the lush smell of the rainforest, countless flowers, towering trees, pink dolphins playing alongside your boat, incredible frogs, iridescent butterflies, and captivating monkeys. Visit an Yagua Indian village where you can trade for or purchase local handicrafts. There will even be opportunities to fish for the notorious piranha. Then... spend your evenings partying with your friends and the colorful locals.
The tour will be led by Dr. Edward Pivorun, an expert tropical biologist from Clemson University, with the assistance of several local Indian guides.
