This expedition begins in the city at the heart of the Amazon: Coca is recommended to arrive one day early. After meeting up with the group you will travel by car for two hours to the Shiripuno River. Then you will kayak for about five hours down the river, looking out for wildlife that dot the riverside and water below us. With some luck, you might see troops of squirrel monkeys as well as colorful birds such as toucans, macaws, flycatchers, and others. The guides will teach us about the different species of plants that grow on the side of the river and their meaning to the local people. In the late afternoon, you will arrive at the campsite and have a delicious dinner.
