Welcome to the jungle

In the afternoon we get onto a boat to get into the jungle. We get there around 6pm. We are staying with indigenous people. I'm quite surprised of their living standard. They have wooden houses, electricity, phones and tvs. They live of the nature growing bananas cacao, and also tourism. We eat dinner and afterwards head on a small walk to look for tarantulas.
