A medical service trip under the auspices of Project Amazonas. Contact devon@projectamazonas.org for details if you are interested in participating. Primarily this is a trip for medical and dental professionals, students and nurses, but there is space for a limited number of non-medical participants who can help with data entry, pharmacy, translation and other activities.
The Itaya river joins the Amazon at the city of Iquitos. Despite the proximity to the city, the communities of the Itaya are relatively isolated, and always grateful for the visits of medical teams.
Participants should plan on arriving in Iquitos on Saturday 18 March (accommodations included), and would be free to depart Iquitos from mid-afternoon onward on Tuesday 28 March.
