UW-Tacoma Peruvian Field Studies: Ecology and Community from the Andes to the Amazon

Dates: July 20 through August 17, 2012

Application Deadline: April 20, 2012

The Peru program introduces students to issues in Neotropical ecology, focusing on sustainability and rainforest conservation. It’s a 12-credit course featuring a one-week stay in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, along the Urubamba river in the highlands of southeast Peru. The rest of the time is spent in the rural research field stations of Los Amigos in lowland Amazonian rainforest at the base of Peru’s southern Andes, and Wayqecha  in the cloud forest of the eastern slopes of the tropical Andes.
