I don´t think I could possibly do the Amazonian Rain forest any justice with my words. It was another world. Very hot and very wet. No electricity. Washing in the rivers. Once there, all travel was done by boat on the complex network of rivers. We visited local communities, went on night hikes, fished, cooked.... and sweated lots. I took so many photos but it´s hard to take good ones in the dark forest floors, and I didn´t want to take the camera out when it was raining. But here are a few:

Our guide, Hiaro:

Me on the equator:

Our group at a big tree, from left- Caroline & Nadia (from Switzerland), me, and Lykee and Anes ( from Denmark):

More Jungle:

The Shamen:Sunset.... Sunrise.... Fungi: Creepy crawlies:

Tarantula:

Anaconda:

Leaf frog:

Piranha fishing: Baby Wooly Monkey (that was confiscated from people in the city, and which the reserve was nursing):
Stories at night: I have no photos of the animals and birds that live in the canopy. But I might be getting a copy of Lykee´s and Anes´s tonight, so maybe more to come.

Oh, and if you only had a Spanish spell check to work with, you´d have spelling mistakes too!
