This morning we navigated along the Marañon River and visited an area known as Yanayaquillo. This beautiful creek led us to an even more wonderful place, where the whole lagoon was covered with river lettuce, and several kinds of frogs and even Cayman lizards were observed. In the afternoon, we explored a beautiful forest in the non-flooded area along the Marañon River, searching for tiny creatures such as tarantulas and frogs. The experience of being in the forest surrounded by the exuberant green vegetation surpassed anything we could have hoped to see.

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.
