No se darán cuenta el primer ni el segundo año. Si no poco a poco. Una visita a Cocha Cashu es para toda la vida.” Roberto Ruiz "Cocha Cashu gave me my first plunge into the Amazon, and it is here that I learned how nature should be, what it is like to expect to see multiple mammal species every day, and how real communities can in fact be explainable by theory, as long as one is working in an ecology that is largely in equilibrium, as Manu’s is. This is what I hold onto as I start work now in China: the intuition and learning about nature that only a place like Cashu can provide."
