Peru Jungle Medicine

May 17th - May 24th, 2026

May 17th - 24th, 2026

• We hope you join us in Peru for an ultimate all-inclusive treehouse lodge in the Amazon, delivering a once in a lifetime experience. Located in the Peruvian Amazon at the confluence of the serene and protected Yarapa and Cumaceba rivers near the Pacaya Samiria Reserve. Come join us and you’ll see the rainforest from an entirely new perspective that most visitors never experience… the tree top canopy.

• You’ll never forget the experience of watching monkeys and birds at eye level as every morning you’ll wake up to a safari of animal life before you even get out of bed. Not to worry, you won’t sacrifice any of the usual comforts found on the ground. Every bungalow is equipped with showers, sinks, toilets, and clean white linens. Your personal treehouse bungalow gets you up off the jungle floor and helps you enjoy the airy relief from the heat and humidity. Sure, you’ll get a little extra exercise walking up there, but after a meal filled with delicious food, you’ll welcome it.

• This course is ideal for those interested in combining a tropical vacation with adventure related CME or those looking to learn more about possible injuries and accidents encountered while traveling abroad and tropical medicine related injuries. Our courses are also great for those travel enthusiasts, group leaders, divers, EMT’s, paramedics, nurses, NP's, PA's or doctors with a desire to learn medical treatment in austere environments.
