A beautiful calm and relatively warm morning opened our expedition today. After breakfast, we went to explore Supay Caño by skiff boats or by kayaking. Wildlife is usually very active in this location, we were very lucky for we saw many bird species like flycatchers, nighthawks, herons, kites, tanagers, parrots, etc. In the afternoon, the sun was shining again and we had a beautiful visit to Puerto Miguel. We admired the Giant water lilies and 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.

Piranha Creek and the Amazon River
This morning, our guests had a truly special experience visiting the Amazonas community, a well organized village where many of the community leaders are women. They warmly welcomed us and shared a glimpse into their daily lives, showing us how they cook traditional dishes, use plant-based dyes to create beautiful handicrafts, and most importantly, their incredible efforts in leadership, sustainable fishing, and agroforestry farming. Their work is a powerful response to soil acidification and climate change, demonstrating resilience and innovation in their way of life. In the afternoon, we navigated toward the great confluence, where the Marañón and Ucayali Rivers merge to form the Amazon River. We explored a narrow creek in search of wildlife, and as our three skiffs returned to the Amazon River, we tied them together and raised a glass, celebrating the end of a fantastic expedition.
