Iquitos (Plaza De Armas and Plant Consciousness) (Day 19) (4/30/19)

This morning I woke up at 3:30am and took an Uber to the airport.  I then boarded a 5:30am flight to Iquitos, arriving in Iquitos at 7:30am.  Someone from Amazonia expeditions was waiting at the airport to drive me to Amazonia’s office and hostel where I’d be spending the night.  I dropped off my things in the room and walked towards Plaza del Armas.  

On the way, I stopped at a banana market, the iron house, a cathedral in plaza del Armas, and other historical buildings.  At about 10AM, I stopped by Dawn at the Amazon Cafe to have a coffee and hummus, and shortly thereafter Dhyana showed up.  We then walked over to her office and began the plant consciousness training.

She set up a plate of coca leaves, a white powder that was meant to increase absorption of the coca, and rolls of tobacco which we would smoke in between chewing coca leads.  For the next five hours, we woke chew coca leaves and talk about anything and everything that was only mind.

At about 5pm, things wrapped up and I walked over to Dawn at the Amazon and had dinner and then walked back to the hostel.
