Early this morning before breakfast we had the opportunity to explore by skiff the Belluda Caño to look for wildlife, and especially for macaws. For a relatively long time, this area used to be the edge of the river, but the mighty river changes its mind every now and then, and decided to slightly vary its course, reclaiming the land in this area. As the soil became displaced, it caused the vegetation to change, and the less-adapted vegetation drown as a result of the increased moisture. Among the dead vegetation there are several tall palms that are actually ideal nesting spots for tropical birds such as macaws.
