During this camp, participating national and international students learn about river protection and develop new ideas to further protect the river. The funds raised through Flowing Colombia will support the participation of local students in the SRC.<\/p><p data-start=\"675\" data-end=\"864\">To support this camp, I have offered my help to give this fundraising trip extra depth and to inspire people to join an amazing adventure that also contributes to local nature conservation.<\/p><p data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"881\"><strong data-start=\"866\" data-end=\"881\">The journey<\/strong><\/p><p data-start=\"883\" data-end=\"1165\">The R\u00edo Saman\u00e1 is one of the last free-flowing rivers. We will go on an adventure through a region that was once controlled by the FARC and known for coca production. Because people avoided this area during that time, the river and the surrounding nature remained largely protected.<\/p><p data-start=\"1167\" data-end=\"1411\">Today, the local communities have returned and live from and alongside the river. They want to protect the river from plans for dam construction, safeguarding this valuable ecosystem and their way of life. The SRC aims to support these efforts.<\/p><p data-start=\"1413\" data-end=\"1614\">During our hike and rafting adventure we explore the area and experience this unique piece of nature. We learn from local communities about the river and challenge ourselves on several exciting rapids.<\/p><p data-start=\"1616\" data-end=\"1799\">On the R\u00edo Saman\u00e1 we travel from the rainforest, through canyons, and into lowland forests. Along the way we camp or stay in local homestays run by communities living along the river.<\/p><p data-start=\"1801\" data-end=\"2064\">From powerful rapids to natural swimming pools beside the river, the journey offers constant variety. Along the way and at our overnight locations we encounter remarkable wildlife, including birds, butterflies, plants, and\u2014if we\u2019re lucky\u2014otters and other animals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b782dd5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b782dd5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What is included?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5d1b874 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"5d1b874\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5af371c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"5af371c\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1a06a94 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"1a06a94\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b2e1b32 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b2e1b32\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The organising partners<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9663f4a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9663f4a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"301\">The <strong data-start=\"4\" data-end=\"29\">Flowing Colombia trip<\/strong> is organized by Expedition Colombia, a local organization that contributes to river conservation by enabling more people to experience the Saman\u00e1 River.
