Our expedition started in great form, with an early outing before breakfast followed by another right afterwards, and many of us took the option to go kayaking. When in the rainforest or the tropics in general, it is always rewarding to go out with the first light, and today was no exception as the many sightings in our lists demonstrate. In the afternoon we hiked across primeval forest to the hanging bridges of the Amazon National Park. From there, we accessed a different perspective of the forest, that of the many organisms that live in the canopy area. Sailing into the sunset, we continued exploring the Marañón River for the remainder of the day.

Dorado Forest and Pacaya River
We had an absolutely beautiful morning, starting before breakfast for a skiff exploration followed by a forest walk to visit a small community made of a few families whose main activity is fishing. Our journey on skiffs was a very rewarding one! All of us photographing every creature we found there. As we explored the forest, we had some amazing sightings! The trees were full of surprises as there were troops of squirrel monkeys, to the delight of everyone! This forest is home to the charming toucan barbet and the elusive yellow-crowned parrot. In the afternoon we explored Pacaya River for more wildlife sightings. This place is amazing due to the abundance of wildlife. This part of the reserve is home to several types of monkeys, birds, caimans, and river dolphins!
