Free* Guided Peru Rio Huallaga Trip late 2010

[John]

A friend of mine spotted this on Dendroboard and I thought I'd share it with everyone here. Mark Pepper of Understory Enterprises (a very conservation-minded company based in Canada and Iquitos, Peru) is organising a trip down the Rio Huallaga in Peru from Chazuta to Yurimaguas (about 50 miles as the river flows). He's opening it to hobbyists for free, you just pay your travel and living expenses. Mark's main interest is in Dart Frogs but for any amphibian enthusiast this is a once in a lifetime trip. Keep in mind that there are organizations and individuals who charge thousands of $ or € to guide trips like this, on top of your travel and living expenses.

I'd go in a heartbeat but for having moved recently and trying to organise my future plans.

This is an amazing opportunity without a doubt!

If I was older and had more experience, I would most certainly try to go! Unfortunately, I know myself, and I am not prepared for an amazing trip like this :[ In moments like this I wish I was older!

I would recommend all of you to take in consideration attending to this trip. This is indeed an amazing opportunity! Good luck!

Thanks a lot for sharing :] It's nice to see the kind of opportunities that might await me in the future, when going to college and after! - I want to grow up!
