Early in the morning we came to explore a very narrow creek known as Pahuachiro. The animals are more active early in the morning and late in the afternoon, and we take benefit of the high-water season to enter into these shallow creeks. Then we walked along a trail farther inland, to feel the spirit of the jungle. We found all kinds of small animals like tarantulas, frogs, and other insects; we also learned about the importance of keeping the area pristine and very well conserved. In the afternoon we explored Nauta Creek, a unique place where many different creatures can be found, including owls, potoos, horned screamer birds, macaws, monkeys, caiman lizards, and iguanas. Our Friday was incredible!

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.
