This morning, we embarked on a long skiff ride to explore the diverse wildlife inhabiting the Pacaya region. We were fortunate to spot several three-toed sloths nestled in the treetops and observed capuchin and squirrel monkeys playfully moving through the canopy. The richness of the Amazon’s biodiversity was on full display.
We also had a picnic at the serene Yanayacu Lagoon, a pristine body of water nestled within the Amazon Rainforest. The high level of the water (more than 40 feet) allowed us to navigate deeper into the flooded forest. The water’s calm surface mirrored the towering trees, creating a mesmerizing “Forest of Mirrors” effect. Taking advantage of the tranquil setting, many guests enjoyed a refreshing swim in the lagoon’s warm waters, fully immersing themselves in the Amazon’s natural beauty.
In the afternoon we explored Magdalena Creek, where we saw a wild pig swimming to us, as if asking for a ride. After dinner we met in the lounge to dance to the rhythms of music from around the world. The crew were amazing Amazon dancing instructors.
