Today, on the second full day of our expedition on the remarkably bio-diverse Amazonia, we had an early visit to the Amazon Natural Park. In this private owned reserve, we crossed a small lagoon on catamarans, then walked to arrive to a long suspension bridge. We had the joy to and listen to our expert Delfin II naturalists talking about several plant species and about some fascinating aspects of the ecology of the rainforest of the Neotropics.
In the afternoon, we explored Nauta Caño by skiff rides or by kayaking. This beautiful creek is covered with thick vegetation where our naturalists spotted several species of colorful birds like macaws and toucans as well as some few three-toed sloths and a couple of squirrel and saki monkey troops. Finally, late in the evening, just after dinner we had a short night walk that allowed us to be immersed in the symphony of the forest sounds in the darkness.
