We continue our exploration upstream to some of the farthest points along the Ucayali River today. In the morning, we left the ship very early to explore. We found a secluded spot along Zapote River and tied the three skiffs together in order to enjoy breakfast while floating on the mirrorlike waters of the river. In the afternoon, we navigated to the farthest point along the Ucayali River we would reach on our trip. We explored it deeply in order to reach a black water lagoon to offer the “Amazon Plunge.”

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.
