…And the locals share a tantalizing secret!
Kike, our Peruvian-Aguarunas connection, has spoken with some of his Aguarunas friends about our upcoming trip and goals. Apparently, one of them said, “These guys want to see old ruins? There are really old ruins in the jungle there up near the top of a hill. The Spanish always built on hilltops when they could. We’d be happy to guide them to the place”
Our dream of proving Clark was right seems more likely every day. And now seven of us, including a relative of Leonard Clark’s are heading down the Maranon to finally settle the debate. We will be on the river by September 24.
Equally at home in Peru, the mountains, or Seattle, Washington, Tammy Leland has spent the last 18 years exploring every nook and cranny of Peru’s Amazon, its Andes mountains, Southern desert and ancient history. Earning a reputation as a passionate adventurer and explorer, Tammy had wandered over 5 continents, spending her time learning from different indigenous cultures, gleaning important lessons about sustainable tourism and now offers practical guidance as a tourism consultant and environmental educator.
Living on the edge explorer, traveler and climber, Dan Travers has traversed, climbed, scaled, scrambled, skied, trudged, trekked, hiked, biked and kayaked in 6 different continents and over 40 countries. Wilderness First Responder trained and a jungle veteran, lacrosse player, beer drinker, trekker and traveler, diver and climber, but not dancer nor singer. "I want to experience all I can, because if you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space."
Good luck on your adventure to follow my father’s Peruvian jungle expedition!

Wow ! I hope there some sort of truth in the words of Kike’s Aguarunas friends.
Will there still be some rubble! Tjeez tension is building up here in Holland.

Dan and Tammy,
I wished I’d have known about your adventure sooner as I would have gone. Sorry I haven’t emailed you back Dan. I was trying not to take up your time right before you left. I will check your site daily and see how you guys are doing. If you need any research on my end please let me know.Leave me GPS coordinates and what your looking at if you can? Best regards, JP
