Today in the morning we visited a colorful and lively Amazon human settlement, Amazonas Community. We were able to see the houses and the normal lives of their inhabitants.  We listened to some local representatives speaking about “Minga Peru,” as well. The latter is a local nonprofit organization founded in 1998 whose mission is to promote social justice and human dignity, primarily for women and families in rural communities of the Peruvian Amazon. Leadership training, radio programming, natural resources management are some of their main projects in the area.   Once onboard at around 11:15 a.m. we had a very special celebration. The ship was located in the famous confluence of the Marañon and Ucayali Rivers, geographical place where the Amazon River takes its name. With a regional toast in hand we commemorate this special event. We spent the rest of the afternoon exploring Clavero Lake. Some guests went swimming in the early afternoon. They experienced the warm and placid waters of this remote oxbow lake. Either by skiff rides or by kayaking our guests observed many bird species and some monkey troops. For many, as they commented to me later, the most spectacular sightings were in fact the astonishing green and thick landscapes that were a delight to their eyes.
