点评:I had an amazing time on the Medicinal Plants and Traditional Knowledge tour. I went with three friends, and we learned so much about plant medicine from Patricio, a Kichwa plant medicine expert, and it was all done while going on a stunning 45 minute hike through the jungle. Megan from Shuklla was a great language and culture translator. After the hike, we ate a delicious farm to table lunch (with an incredible vegetarian option) of food straight from their garden/farm. Adela, Patricio’s wife and a plant medicine expert in her own right, prepared a medicine for the common cold that we got to try. All around, the hike was gorgeous, the food delicious, and I learned so much about Indigenous Kichwa culture and medicine. This is a great experience for anyone wanting to get outside and really engage with the Amazon! Make sure to wear rubber boots because it’s muddy, put on repellent, and wear pants and bring a longsleeve for the bugs! Communicating with Megan from Shuklla via WhatsApp was super easy. She made sure were prepared, and everything ran smoothly!
翻译:我参加了一次非常棒的药用植物和传统知识之旅。我和三个朋友一起,从基丘亚族植物药专家帕特里西奥那里学到了很多关于植物药的知识,而且这一切都是在一次令人叹为观止的45分钟丛林徒步之旅中完成的。来自Shuklla的梅根是一位很棒的语言和文化翻译。徒步结束后,我们享用了一顿美味的“从农场到餐桌”午餐(还有非常棒的素食选择),食材都来自他们的花园/农场。帕特里西奥的妻子阿德拉本身也是一位植物药专家,她为我们准备了一种治疗普通感冒的药,我们有机会品尝。总而言之,这次徒步之旅风景优美,食物美味可口,我还学到了很多关于基丘亚族原住民文化和医学的知识。对于任何想要走出户外,真正体验亚马逊雨林的人来说,这都是一次绝佳的体验!一定要穿橡胶靴,因为路面泥泞,涂抹驱蚊剂,穿长裤,带一件长袖衣服以防蚊虫叮咬!通过WhatsApp与Shuklla的梅根沟通非常方便。她确保我们做好了准备,一切进展顺利!
