Peru prepares for annual Great River
Amazon Raft Race
That time of year has come around once
again, when the "Faint of Heart" are
told to refrain from
participating in the annual Great River
Amazon Raft Race. This year's edition
will once again bring together
adventurers from around the globe,
people who are not "faint of heart" and
wish to test their physical,
psychological and emotional endurance on
one of the toughest rivers in the world.
The Amazon Rafting Club, based in
Iquitos, Peru has invited rafters,
canoeists, rowers, paddlers and
adventurers from all over the world to
compete in this year’s event. The 3 day
race will start in the town of Nauta on
Friday, 25th September 2009, and finish
in the City of Iquitos on Sunday, 27th
September 2009. The crews to compete
will consist of four people that have
built a raft themselves the day before
the race. Each raft is to be constructed
of lightweight balsawood logs that must
last the 112 miles of the race.

QUESTIONS ANSWERED

1)
I am worried about the leeches in Cambodia. Will they be a problem?
There are leeches in some rice paddies and swamp areas but you
will not encounter any on your tour, unless you choose to walk through a
rice paddy yourself.
2)
What sort of weather can I expect in Tanzania during
the migration?
The migration starts around May, June of each year as the
wildebeest move toward the Mara until about late August/early September.
During this period, there is little rain about and the days are
hot. In July and August it is winter, with cooler evenings when a light
weight pullover will be needed.
3) How much
must I budget on tips in Chile? Tipping is a personal issue
and depends on the service you receive from your guides and driver.
For a guide, one should look at about $5-$10 a day and about $2 - $5 for
a driver.
