Upper Amazon: A River Expedition, March 26, 2025

In the afternoon, we went for a guided walk in the Yanallpa area. The highlight was an encounter with the elusive pygmy marmoset, the world’s smallest monkey. We observed these tiny primates as they nimbly navigated the trees, their curious eyes watching us as intently as we watched them. This rare sighting offered a profound connection to the rich biodiversity of the Amazon. —Paula Tagle, Expedition Leader
