DAY 6

Day 6 (Thursday March 9) - Another day of exploration. In the morning before breakfast, we explore the Yanallpa River. After breakfast, we explore Sapuena Creek. In the afternoon, we visited the village of San Jose de Paranapura where we learned of the skills of the shaman in using the resources of the rainforest to treat different illnesses. The Amazon rainforest is sometimes called the world's largest drugstore.
