Visit the Amazon for $50
Someone will be visiting the Amazon for as little as $50! With a little luck it could be you...
Through a generous donation from Margarita Tours, a customer-oriented company offering eco-tour expeditions since 1983, you could be the winner of a fish collecting trip on the Peruvian Amazon.
This is a raffle with only 50 chances to win. Each chance to win will cost $50 if you are registered for the All Aquarium Catfish Convention 2008. The winning ticket will be drawn at the Saturday night Banquet. (The winner does not need to be present at the Banquet.)
Even if you are not the trip winner, you may win one of ten Margarita Tours T-shirts as a consolation prize.
Consider a 1 in 50 chance to enjoy a "must-do at least once in a lifetime trip" for aquarium fish enthusiasts and hobbyists! This can be your opportunity to see and collect Amazon fish in their native environment, including dozens of species rarely if ever encountered in the aquarium trade. From 150 to 200 species of fish are typically encountered on a one week expedition, and numerous birds, reptiles amphibians, mammals and spectacular invertebrates help to round out the experience. Rod-and-reel fishers will delight in the chance to catch piranhas, many species of catfish, and more! Arrangements will be made with a local exporter to transport prized fish back for your home aquarium enjoyment. (Exporter and fish transportation cost not included in trip package - please ask for details).
