DAY3

Day 3 (Monday, March 6) - We continue upstream, but are greeted by persistent light rain making a before-breakfast skiff ride impractical. So the captain navigates the boat slowly, close to the forest edge so we can still enjoy the wildlife and the rainforest. After breakfast we board the skiffs to visit the village of Aucayacu, home to some Matzes people aka Jaguar people because of their facial tatoos. In the afternoon, we explored Lake Yuracocha where we marveled at the giant water lilies.
