Our main guide was Henry. He was pretty cute.

The original boardwalk was busted up. The substitute planks we're fine - if you had good balance!

Henry wasn't afraid to stick his fingers in the piranha's mouth. This one's a baby.

After our Kichwa visit, we took our boat to the jungle entrance. We walked along some very sketchy boardwalk planks to a canoe, and paddled through the jungle waters from there. We did see some wildlife, various birds, very large butterflies, howler monkeys, but didn't have a lot of success getting pix.

The jungle tour was fun anyway. It was very quiet, except for those typical jungle noises, which are pretty cool. We amused ourselves by going piranha fishing before heading back. Caught a few too!Read more
