Today we explored the heart of the Amazon Rainforest. We felt a true sense of exploration at Casual Community, where some local residents welcomed us at the entrance with their display of creative handcrafts. We walked a narrow trail under the immense and vast flora, seeking to encounter numerous species of insects, reptiles, and plants unique to the great Amazon Jungle.
Later, on board skiffs at Nauta Creek, we met more of the lifeforms in the Amazon. Monkeys are always attractive to humans, and they were here for us to observe. Birds are found everywhere here, and although they are very skittish around humans, we were still able to view them and take pictures.
We enjoyed a spectacular sunset and rising full moon to close another successful day of exploration in Peru’s Upper Amazon.
