The Amazon is wild and unpredictable, and it never ceases to amaze us. Man is miniscule among its giant green carpet, crossed by thousands of little creeks and tributaries. Together these feed the Ucayali and Maranon Rivers, thus forming this large and treacherous mass of running brown water which holds so much life: the Amazon River.
In the morning, we explored Rio Zapote, an area rich with fish that is important for the local community’s economy. Amazing wildlife.
In the afternoon we explored the Pacaya Samiria Reserve, a sanctuary of beauty and abundant wildlife. Pink and gray dolphins live here, together with dozens of species of birds of the land and water. At dusk, while looking for caimans, we spotted a jaguar — it was an incredible and exciting moment, one of those that happens once in a million times.
What a fabulous day.
