Today we explored Nauta Creek and enjoyed the whole morning birdwatching and looking for the amazing wildlife of the Amazon. We were lucky to find a caiman lizard, one of the first ones of the season, sun basking in a clear area after a short rain. We also had the chance to go piranha fishing in a small, narrow creek and experienced the local fishing techniques to successfully catch these famous fish.
In the afternoon, we explored Yanayaku where we visited a small community and participated in a river turtle breeding program and helped release baby turtles into the river. The community received us, and we enjoyed ourselves as the sun dipped and the afternoon cooled.
