One afternoon, instead of exploring the jungle we decided to help our guide with hand-weaving roof panels…. we're not sure we were that much help but we managed to finish one full panel, which he will use to build a structure near the kitchen to house a clay oven. The process is time consuming, but not that complicated. You just need to know which leaves to use, and have a lot of patience. The nice thing is that these roof panels will last for the next 20 to 30 years!
To help us, our guide made us a coca leaf ball to chew…. this is commonly used by locals because it keeps you awake and cuts your appetite.
