The Yarapa river, whose source lies near the foothills of the Brazilian border, is one of many tributaries of the great Ucayali River, the predecessor of the mighty Amazon. Endowed with white and black water river systems, and the affiliated nutrient-poor soils. Sculpted over geological time into a mosaic of high and low terrain, the Yarapa area is today an intricate blend of seasonally flooded Igapo and Varzea forests, and high-ground forests. Each of these forest types supports its own types of plant and animal species. Together, they form a community of communities, a diversity in which we managed to identify more than 200 species of birds, countless arthropods including bullet ants and rainbow-colored orb spiders, and the omnipresent nine species of primates. The marmosets, capuchins, howlers, squirrel monkeys, and more. Locals have also collected more than 100 species of medicinal plants they use for their everyday.
