“I first visited Cocha Cashu in 1996 to look for a potential Ph.D. project. Since that time, I fell in love with this place and its beauty! If you wish to experience undisturbed nature, its amazing beauty, its complex ecological processes, and scientific challenges then Cocha Cashu is your place! No single species has ever been lost; many species still need to be discovered. No fragmentation, no hunting, no deforestation, or any other human impacts happen here! What you will find is a pristine natural beauty and the overwhelmingly complex ecology that occurs in the largest continuous Amazon rainforest in the world! What I want to highlight is that since working in Cashu, I met so many wonderful people with whom I shared special moments! I will never forget the moment when I arrived at Cashu as a young naïve student. Years later, I have been privileged to share this very special place with my undergraduate and graduate students! For many years now, I have been able to bring Towson University students to Cashu and teach a four-week tropical field ecology class. Many of my students described their experiences as “[this was] the best time of my life”. This is probably the most challenging class for me and the craziest time of my year. However, being able to share this unique forest with my students is just “priceless”. For all these years, I really want to thank Dr. John Terborgh, a wonderful friend and an amazing mentor who encouraged me to work at Cocha Cashu, for his incredible years of post doc mentorship, and for his amazing 30 years effort to keep Cachu one of the most amazing study sites in the tropics!"

“Cocha Cashu es un lugar muy especial para mí, porque es donde puedo sentir un contacto cercano con la naturaleza. Desde que uno despierta en su carpa, uno puede escuchar las vocalizaciones de las aves y de los monos, en especial del coto (mono aullador), y aunque parezca molesto a veces, en realidad para mí es muy agradable a pesar que a veces lo hagan a las cuatro de la mañana. Me gusta mucho la vida simple que uno lleva en la estación, sin muchas comodidades que uno tendría normalmente en la ciudad, sin el ruido de las ciudades sino solo el escuchar el sonido del viento, la lluvia y los animales, lo rudimentario de las construcciones, y quizás hasta el estar desconectada (o poco conectada) de lo que pasa en el resto del mundo. A veces me gusta caminar sola por el bosque, y el que este lugar sea a veces poco accesible lo siento de alguna manera como una ventaja, ya que cuando uno camina por el bosque es poco frecuente encontrarse con alguien en el camino que te desconcentre de tu trabajo o perturbe algún animal que podrías haber estado observando. Aunque no conozco muchas estaciones biológicas, este lugar es mi preferido en el Perú.”
