Today was a fun day. It started bright and early with bird watching down the Amazon river. We saw
toucans, ring kingfishers, oriole blackbirds, and others.
We then had a fabulous breakfast and then went off to visit a local clinic and the yaguma village where we saw (and participated in) their local dancing and blow dart gun shooting. Mesa & I each hit the target about 20 feet away!
We had lunch at the other lodge, the one with no AC or pool, and then hiked over to a sugarcane rum distillery. We sampled the product - but it was pretty interesting.
We had time to enjoy the pool when we got back and before dinner we went on a night hike in the jungle. I have a lot of pictures of all the gross insects we saw. Centipedes, a giant sized bug that I don't know the name of, and tarantulas.
It was kind of cool to be out there in the dark and our guide is very smart when it comes to everything in the jungle.
Dinner was great and they had a show prepared for us afterwards with a group of kids from a neighboring village that are in a dance group.
Another early morning tomorrow.
