My wife and I are going planning to go on a trip to the Amazon this summer for two weeks. The trip is through the college where she got her BS and is working on her MS. It's open to students, faculty, alumni and anyone else that wants to go. Clearly, a bunch of the folks are tied to the school and go for research, so this is not your typical tourist trip, but it's also got some touristy stuff. This is going to be on the Amazon in Brazil between Manaus and Santarem (and back to Manaus). It'll be in July, so at the highest water level, but the beginning of the "dry" season (as dry as the Amazon ever gets, still 10 days of rain and 3.5" in July).
The teacher who organizes this trip has been doing it about twice a year since 1995, so there is a bunch of experience behind it.
I'm just curious to hear more about the experience. There is a
short journal (it's a word doc) about one of the trips in 2002, but I'd like to hear more.
