Waking up early to explore by skiff is never a bad idea in the Amazon; the wildlife is active, the light is always interesting, and the freshness and crispness of the air is incomparable! Today we went exploring before breakfast, and found our first interesting birds of the trip and even some mammals. After breakfast, we went for our first hike in the jungle. Back onboard we took the opportunity to learn from our naturalists during the hottest part of the day, while gently sailing up the Marañón River and enjoying pink river dolphins along the way. In the late afternoon we readied ourselves and headed out for more adventures — just a taste of what this week is going to be!
