  Dante Fenolio is leading a Photography Workshop in a remote area of the Amazon from Iquitos, Peru. This week-long expedition is a chance to live and breath tropical photography alongside a noted Biologist and Photographer.

  “Here is the plan: Revisit a nice stand of rainforest that I haven't seen in some years. This one takes a little bit more effort to get to. The river we will follow is a nice area for all sorts of things and I want to indulge cameras to the max! The agenda ...is simple: hit the forest, photography, eat, photography, sleep, photography, repeat. There will be trails and plenty of opportunities for leisurely hunting for subjects to photograph. Also, it would be a chance to share tips and insights about taking photos in tropical habitats. We are going to charter a boat (with crew, food, fuel, a place to charge electronics, and a comfortable dry place to sleep). I’m bringing one of my all-time-best Peruvian field hands. We are going to find some great wildlife. Expect a night hike each evening and plenty of daytime photographic activities.”

  We have room for 3 people. September 22 - 29, 2018. Contact: info@GreenTracks.com

  The Coconut Palm (Cocos nucifera), native to Tahiti, was established in Latin America over two centuries ago. Today, this palm is a dominant element of many a beach in Central- and South America. On the Amazon it is not uncommon and stopping during a hot day for a refreshing drink of coconut milk is one of the tropic's finer experiences. A mature Coconut Palm can reach as much as a hundred feet and a mature coconut can weigh over three pounds. Not surprisingly, falling coconuts kill about thirty times as many people per year as sharks do!
