The amazon basin

We took a 3 hour boat ride to our camp  "Refugio Amazon"
Along the way saw much wild life.
Some big rodent that looked like a big guinea pig the capy bera,
 Something like that and many gators! Camine ! Excuse me!
We then took a nite hike and boat ride saw many more canine and a  tranzala !
We even saw Night Monkeys!
Then today we saw a host of birds, from Tucans to macaws ! And the weaver bird makes his nest like a coconut! See picture .. I have recorded just a touch of the sounds of the jungle!  Not quite yet! Sorry!
Our guide was a tree climber!
Later we took a hike and canoe ride to try to find the Anacona!!!!! No luck!!!
We visited a local farm and learned that they grow kudzu as a way to replenish the soil ! Go figure!!!!!


Then at the farm we came across a
Achiote tree and they use it for dye and our guide painted me!
