Over 5 days we will travel through 3 communities along the Rio Mapacho: Parobamba, Bombon and Chimor.  In each of them we will recognize distinct landscapes within one valley, as well as people dedicated to practicing agriculture, others weaving traditional textiles with natural fibers and dyes.  We will walk for about 5 or 7 hours each day to travel between communities.  Each town will be waiting for us with dinner, prepared by the local women, and we will sleep in family homes.  We will sustain ourselves throughout the trek with a box lunch.  We will walk down to the river in order to recognize native flora and fauna, like medicinal and dyeing plants, traditional crops and wild animals that conserve their traditional habitats.
