  The Tikuna people of San Martin de Amacayacu are kind, cheerful, talkative and helpful. You will never feel alone because there are always many people associated to the lodge for work or to sell agricultural products. You will have many opportunities to talk and learn about the rich Amazonian culture and way of life. By joining the guests on their excursions or taking a canoe for a spin, you will be able to immerse yourself in the lush green environment and learn about this from an indigenous perspective. Being with the lodge´s guests also provides a really good opportunity to learn from their way of life and views on the world. Doing the logistics for the lodge provides a really interesting learning experience because the community conditions are very different from a hotel in a city.
