Explorama
Explorama was founded by Peter S. Jenson, he saw an opportunity to explore the rain forest and share the knowledge he gains with all types of people. Peter immersed himself in the culture and lifestyle of the people and now Explorma is nearing a half century of operation. While we were there we visited each of the four different lodges: Explorama, Explornapo, A.C.T.S., and Ceiba Tops.
How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.’ Saying hello to the people in Peru was one of the easiest things that I’ve had to do. They welcomed me with open arms and open hearts, making connections almost immediately. It was this deep desire for connection that everyone came in with that made saying goodbye so hard.
As the villagers ran down to the dock while our boat pulled away, as the kids ran alongside our bus holding our hands and as we said goodbye to our leader who shared a part of his life with us, I realized that I left behind a piece of my heart in Peru.
