Early this morning after a wonderful breakfast we took a short ride by skiff to visit the small community of San Jorge. This visit gave us a wonderful opportunity to learn about how the people form this remote part of the world make a living. The people at San Jorge where very friendly and had they invited us into their homes, and through our naturalists to translate we learn on how these people manage to live from the river with what the river gives them. We also visited the little school to talk to the kids, and saw and purchased some of the handcrafts made by them.

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.
