What's it like to study in the Amazon?
Students chartered Motor Yacht Tucano through the remote wilderness rainforest via the least inhabited major river in the Amazon Basin, the Rio Negro, exploring diverse tropical habitats. “Having lived a full week in the heart of the Amazon Basin, I feel connected to its livelihood and future. Here, mercy transcends all languages, as its mission lived in all the people we learned from on the Tucano.” – Maeve Newton ‘25
