Adelphi in Peru: People and Cultures of Peru-An Exploration of Humans and
the Environment-NEW!
ANT 390 (July 1-21, 2013)
This course travels from the picturesque peaks of Peru's Andes Mountains
and the lost city of Machu Picchu to its lowland Amazon rainforests, the
last place where uncontacted humans live outside of civilization. Students
will experience ancient indigenous rituals, hunt exotic medicinal plants
in the Amazon rainforest, and work with conservation projects for rare and
endangered animals. Peru's diverse cultures are explored from historic to
modern perspectives, from archeological ruins of past civilizations to the
modern-day realities of Peruvian indigenous and Western cultures. Peru's
beautiful and diverse natural environments will take a front seat as we
explore how humans interact with and impact the environment of Peru's
lowland rainforests and mountain highlands. For more info, contact
Professor Douglas London at dlondon@adelphi.edu
