One-week trip cost is $1,450 and includes a combination of jungle lodging and city hotel accommodations, all boat and bus transportation, meals while in the jungle, medical and clinic operational supplies, interpreters, and other logistical costs including post-trip patient follow-up care. Meals while in the city of Iquitos are not included except for lunch on day of departure for the jungle.

Trips are scheduled months in advance to ensure we have enough volunteers to cover costs of boats, fuel, staff, medications/clinic supplies, housing, post-trip patient care, and other logistics. All teams require a minimum of 6 volunteers. We will notify you at least 45 days in advance that a trip will be cancelled if it appears a team will not have enough participants.
