ESPERANZA RIVERBOAT AND/OR SPEEDBOATS: MADRE SELVA BIOLOGICAL STATION & SANTA CRUZ FOREST RESERVE
Since 1994 and in coordination with our charity partner, Project Amazonas; we've hosted dozens of academic groups and many hundreds of students in the Peruvian Amazon. Middle school, high school, university and graduate level students all have the same range of responses: "Life-changing", "incredible", "the toughest thing I've ever done", "eye-opening", and very frequently, "I'm coming back!" Many students keep in touch for years, and yes, they do come back - as volunteers, graduate students, researchers, and even as teachers with their own students in tow.
Favorite overheard comment after a visit to a rural Amazonian school: "I'll never complain about my school again!"
Bringing a course to the Peruvian Amazon sounds like a daunting challenge, and it does require a lot of work, but we work with you to make it as easy as possible. We handle ALL the arrangements in Peru: ground and river transportation, hotels and other lodging, all meals, interpreters, guides, local experts etc. We can even arrange a medical doctor to accompany your group if you wish. All you need to do is work with your school, students and parents...a tall enough order as it is! We develop a budget based on the number of students and length of the trip, with accompanying faculty costs included in the per-student rate. We are always happy to prepare a quote and detailed itinerary, and will work closely with you to ensure that the experience is all that you want for your students and more.
