Amazon Day 2 photographs
Daybreak . This is the sight that greeted us every morning . Too bad I can't capture the sounds of the forest in this photo.
Breakfast. A cornucopia of fruits from the Amazon, along with half a dozen other dishes
Navigating the channels in a small boat. A feeling of total immersion in the forest
A difficult hike through the forest where Gabriel our guide used a machete to create a path for us.
Along the way we he gave is a wealth of information about plants and their uses, like this " telephone" tree which is used for communication if someone is lost (if you tap the trunk really hard with an it makes a loud echoing sound that can be heard 2 km away)
Gliding through the forest in thearly small boat. In the dry season this is all just a river bed
Students opt to swim after theach hike
Our second attempt at piranha fishing is much more successful!
Squirrel monkeys in the trees
Some decided to pay us a visit
We went searching for caimans at night
Little did we know that Gabriel was going to reach into the water and pull one out !
A small juvenile of course , otherwise Gabriel would be missing some fingers . He put the little guy back in the water later.
