Amazon Trip: Tena & Baños
Feb 27 2022
During our last week of the “study” portion of the term, students traveled to several hours east of Quito to explore the upper Amazon basin. We combined several experiential learning activities – both cultural and environmental, based on the region’s unique characteristics – with time for fun! We were excited to have a friend and guide Eric join us for part of the week from Dayuma. This trip helped students apply much of the semester’s academic focus on indigenous rights, sustainability and globalization.
Students leave for Service on Saturday the 27th of February.
