A week ago, I had the opportunity with a group of friends to explore traditional Shipibo culture at Santa Clara. It was a wonderful experience: amazing people with unique customs and traditions. You are warmly greeted at Santa Clara: by the maestra Elena, Leonilda, Mr. Ruben and others. They are very wise people. Santa Clara has much to offer and discover. I absolutely recommend this fantastic experience. I'm planning a longer visit for my vacation. Our facilitator Patrick was both kind and incredibly knowledgeable. I am so happy I encountered this fascinating place.
