2017 Collecting Trips

26th March 2017

There are still a few openings for scheduled GoWildPeru 2017 Collecting Trips. If you are intersted in other dates and can get a group of at least four together then please let us know and we will do everything possible to make your trip a lifetime experience to cherish.

November 4 - 18 - Collecting with Ian Fuller (UK) and Michael Barber (US) for fifteen days/fourteen nights. Exploring new collecting locations for potentially undescribed and new species. Plus returning to some of our favorite collecting locations in the Cloud Forest looking for Hillstream Ancistrus species. Just a couple spots remain on this trip. 

October 4 - 11 - Focus on Collecting Corydoras (and Brochis) - only space for one more Corydoras collector on this eight day/seven night collecting trip. Here is the list of Corys collected by GoWildPeru in the Madre de Dios (new ones are found nearly everytime we visit; however., we can never guarantee success in this regard - we will try):
