 Pilot water catchment system at Nuevo Progreso, a joint project of Rotary, Intl. and APECA. "APECA, Inc." is a U.S. based 501(c)(3) non profit organization dedicated to the Promotion of Education and Conservation in the Peruvian Amazon rain forest. APECA, Inc. works through "APECA Peru" which is a Peruvian registered non-profit organization based on the Amazon river south of Iquitos, Peru. We work in the development of remote community villages focusing on Health and Environmental Education, Conservation and Leadership. Projects developed by APECA Peru look for a social and environmental impact that is beneficial to both the local inhabitant and our planet. Study and Research Programs support our projects and give participants wonderful opportunities to learn, conduct research and interact with nature. These programs are entirely funded by the individual participant. They are open to undergraduate students, graduate students, professionals and the general public. APECA-Peru Tour Opportunity: August 2007 The APECA-PERU tour is organized by Orvis, a 150-year-old company that started out as a sport fishing supplier, located in Manchester, VT. To accommodate their own clients, they started organizing fishing trips, now that business has grown into a major outdoor adventure tour business. They organize many tours for groups like ours and have proven to be very reliable.
