Travel Journalists Invited on Ecotour in Brazil - 372

Photos provided by Adventure Travel Media SourceAttention travel writers! If you have a love of nature and adventure then this press trip announcement is for you. Terra Incognita Ecotours released details yesterday of an ecotour to Brazil’s Pantanal! Selected journalists will take part in the tour August 2 to 10, 2010 where you will be likely to see jaguars, tapirs, macaws and much more.

The tour will be escorted by the founder of Terra Incognita Ecotours, Gerard Caddick. It will include a visit to Baia das Pedras and to the Jaguar Research Center.  Accommodations, meals, an English speaking guide, entrance fees and a donation to conservation activities will all be included.

Not included? You’ll have to pay for the international flight to and from Brazil, travel document fees such as Visas and necessary vaccinations, and personal expenses such as laundry and phone calls.

If selected for this trip you will not lack for things to write about or photograph. According to the Terra Incognita Ecotours website, Brazil’s Pantanal boasts:

an estimated 3,500 species of plants, 124 species of mammals, 177 species of reptiles, 41 species of amphibians and at least 423 species of birds.

Eligible journalists will be judged based on three things - criteria of national exposure, circulation of publication, and Letter of Assignment. Writers with an assignment focusing on adventure travel, ecotourism, or the outdoors will be given priority during selection. In addition, if you write for a publication with a circulation of 100,000 or more you may be eligible. You’ll need to provide clips of or links to your current work when applying. Nancy(at)atmstravelnews(dot)com is the appropriate contact for more information on this exciting opportunity for travel writers.
