Inkaterra Canopy Walkway	"I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful adventure and share with you what I now think was my best experience of the trip. Not only did I get to visit Manchu Picchu, but I got to hike Wynapicchu and look at Manchu Picchi from a view I am sure most people could not even imagine. I feel very blessed to have been able to experience it." -C.M. University of Montana	Shaman Don Antonio blessing Matt and Laura with a spiritual bath
Don Antonio shows Dr. Wagner the Angel’s Trumpet plant	"Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to experience the wonderful trip to Peru. The trip will be remembered forever and the knowledge I gained from it could not be learned from a textbook. It is so great to give the students the chance to take these trips. I would not hesitate to go again!" C.W., St. Vincent's College	Wild llamas at Manchu Picchu
At the airport in Port Maldonado in Peru	"I fear as a pharmacy student, I have been accustomed to using my writing skills far too little to express all that this trip to the Amazon has meant to me. Not only was it very interesting and humbling to see first hand some of the history of modern medicine, but it also made me think very intently about the role I want to play in our medical society, what impact I will make, and how I can influence our medical trends to become for holistic." -R.M., Duquesne University	An Inca site called Sacsayhuaman outside Cusco
Indigenous dwelling along the Madre de Dios	"Thank you so much for opening my eyes to a whole new world of medicine. The holistic approach was one I had never examined before this trip. I am forever grateful for this opportunity and will never forget it." -A.K., Duquesne University	The ‘Pittsburgh’ group at Manchu Picchu
The Madre de Dios River in southern Peru - “River of Change”	Thanks for organizing such a wonderful trip! It was a great opportunity to experience the Amazon jungle and the villages of the high lands. The information we gained on this trip was an eye opener. It is amazing how these people in Peru live off the land, satisfying their needs with plants and wildlife of the surrounding area. The people of Peru were very gracious, always kind and willing to please. Our guides were especially enjoyable and had vast knowledge and education of the area. They made everything run smoothly. It was a great bunch of people to share this adventure with. Once again, thanks!!" -Z.N., University of Montana	Contemplating the majesty of Manchu Picchu
