If need be, the entire course itinerary can be designed locally once the focus of the desired experience is known. Let the people of the forest be your teachers. There are no teachers offered for course work, rather, appropriately, it is the communities and the individuals involved in the dynamics of their lives who share their experiences, knowledge and ideas with the students. There are few roads in the area but sufficient to allow access. Transportation by bus, truck or boat may be arranged locally.
Communication is by means of a public telephone system.
The Chimuri Nature Lodge is the base camp where the groups will stay except when spending nights at selected sites.
