Our week started with some pink dolphins swimming around our skiffs, and some gray dolphins fishing — what a great show! Clavero is a huge lake that has a couple of villages by the shoreline. This place is full of wildlife, such as ospreys, monkeys, multicolored birds, dolphins, and hundreds of species of fish. And our afternoon was as amazing as the morning: we observed many varieties of egrets, sloths, macaws, and the great landscape with humongous trees and emerald green vegetation. We had an astonishing beginning in this paradise!

Delfin II
Amazon Natural Park and Yanayacu River
For the last full day of our expedition on the amazingly biodiverse Peruvian Upper Amazon, we had an early visit to the Amazon Natural Park. In this privately-owned reserve, we crossed a small lagoon on catamarans, then had the joy to walk in a primary forest and learn from our expert Delfin II naturalists; they described several plant species and other fascinating aspects of rainforest ecology in the neotropics. In the afternoon, we explored Yanayacu River by skiff rides. This beautiful river is covered with thick vegetation, where our naturalists and skiff drivers spotted several species of colorful birds. We saw many pink river dolphins as well. In the evening, we watched the guest slide show of the week, then enjoyed a farewell cocktail and dinner with live music included. It was the golden finale for a successful expedition in this remarkable location of our planet.
