Week 3: Which Route Should We Take Through the Rainforest?

Which route should we take in the rainforest?

Now that we are in the rainforest and are ready to begin canoeing, we have to decide which route to take. We would like you to vote on this very important decision for our team.

The results are in! This week's poll had to be ended early so that we could start our route. The Student Explorers have spoken. Over 40% of the votes were for the Team to explore the Pacaya and Yanayacu Rivers. The team will spend about 16 days paddling the Pacaya River. Much of the Pacaya is very wild and our chances of seeing wildlife will be better. The Yanayacu River is home to many small villages. We will spend over a week exploring the villages to find clues about how people survive in the flooded forest.

Keep Exploring!
