It was a journey of extremes - from sublime sunsets to hours of rain. The silence of the jungle was broken only by the sound of wildlife, and the days were dictated by the rising and setting sun.

The tradition of “Pastoreadas Navideñas” from the Ucayali and Loreto regions is a fascinating insight into the historical blending of Christian teachings and local customs. These festive parades were introduced by Spanish priests in the century before last and take the population on a journey through biblical depictions and mystical figures of the forest.
