BOTA EcoTours in 2008. Several bamboo tours are planned for 2008 including the countries of Bolivia, Mexico, Chile and Ecuador. Our tour guides are experts in regional bamboo knowledge. They will set the dates, costs and itinerary for their expeditions in 2008. You need to contact Gib Cooper at 541-247-0835 or e-mail to be included on the invitational list. Please specify which countries you are interested in and include name, address, telephone number and e-mail address. The tour guides speak English and Spanish
Our tour plans for Ecuador in September 2008 are now complete! We are excited to offer a specialized itinerary to a small group of 15 bambuseros; this is not an itinerary that you will find anywhere else! Just click on the image or go to the BOTA Web site to read the detailed itinerary for the two week Ecuador trip and the optional 4 day Galapagos cruise that follows. We will travel to diverse sites throughout Andean and coastal Ecuador with a focus on biological, cultural and commercial aspects of bamboo. As well, you will find there are many activities that parallel the tour's bamboo theme, like hiking, bird-watching, nature, ecology, cultural events and history. Please sign up soon as seats will be filled on a first-come basis.
