Medical Service Expedition - Rio Apayacu, Orosa, Matahuayo ($1750)


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

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.

These rivers are home to communities of Yagua and campesino (mixed heritage) people. Our base for several days will be the Madre Selva Biological Station on the Orosa River.

Participants should plan on arriving in Iquitos on Saturday 25 Feb (accommodations included for that night) or on one of the early morning flights on Sunday 26 Feb. Departure from Iquitos can be scheduled for mid-afternoon or later on Friday 10 Mar.
