Today in our last day of our expedition we had a beautiful warm morning. After breakfast, we went to explore Supay Caño by skiff boats or by kayaking. Wildlife is usually very abundant in this location, we were very lucky for we saw many bird species like flycatchers, herons, tanagers, etc. In the afternoon, the sun was shining again and we had a beautiful visit to Puerto Miguel. We paid a visit to the largest and most diverse handcrafts market in this side of the Ucayali River. Later in the afternoon, we had a final skiff ride in Yarapa Caño. In this location, we had a golden finale to our expedition for we had extraordinary sightings that included some monkeys. Woodpeckers, tanagers and birds of prey. At sunset, reluctantly, we came back onboard with our minds and spirits fill with all the new adventures and feelings that the Upper Amazon has brought to our lives. A trip of a lifetime has come to an end.

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.
