This morning we had the opportunity to walk on a private preserve adjacent to the river. Divided in small groups and under the lead of our expert local naturalists we explored the tropical rainforest walking the trails on foot at ground level and on suspension bridges we saw the trees from below and above. We walked slowly through the forest looking for things to see and stopping often to learn from our guides about the forest and what lives in it.

Yanallpa and Amazonas
Our last day of our expedition began with an early walk on sustainable farming land in Yanallpa. This farm had bananas, sweet limes, grapefruit, and many other tropical fruit trees. The farm was a great example of the sustainable social changes being implemented by many communities throughout the Amazon basin. Our naturalists spotted a lot of wildlife, including families of pygmy marmosets, a favorite among our guests. It was a morning loaded with birds, insects, snakes, and lovely flowers. We held our afternoon activity in the community of Amazonas. Here, a group of women leaders shared their experiences of the sustainable social changes. We spent memorable moments in their family kitchens learning how they get their materials for their handicrafts. It was a mesmerizing way to finish our expedition along the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve.
