Should we take the Canal, or the Main Channel?
Week 5 Cast YOUR vote!
The votes are in and students have decided that we should spend extra time in the Pacaya Samiria Reserve, and end our trip in Nauta. We are looking forward to spending more time looking for animals and exploring the park. Next week we will leave the reserve and paddle down the Maranon River to Nauta. The journey will take us 3 or 4 days.
Part way down the Maranon River there is a canal call Cano Yanayaquillo. This canal cuts off a large bend in the Maranon River and travels back into the Pacaya Samiria Reserve. It would take us approximately one day to paddle down the canal, and we are wondering if you would like us to follow the main river channel, or take the Cano Yanayaquillo.
The main river channel has a faster current and would allow us to see more country. We would encounter many small towns and family farms. We probably would not see as many animals, but we would have the opportunity to interact with more people. If we follow the Yanayaquillo we would be traveling on a narrow, slow-moving waterway. We would not cover as many miles, but we would be more likely to encounter monkeys, birds, and other animals.
Our fate is in your hands. It is time for you to Cast YOUR Vote!
The Votes are in, and we're headed down the Canal! Stay tuned for some great photos of all the wildlife we hope to see.
