Medical Service Expedition - Rio Ampiyacu ($1865) (DATES TENTATIVE)


  • MT Amazon Ecotours 10821 Southwest 48th Terrace Miami, FL, 33165 United States (map)

A medical service trip under the auspices of Project Amazonas. Dates are tentative but probable. 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 Rio Ampiyacu is one of our most remote destinations for medical service groups, and is populated with communities of Bora, Huitoto, Ocaina and Yagua ethnicities. The historic town of Pevas (at the mouth of the river) is always worth a visit, and is one of the first towns to appear on very early maps of the Amazon.
