Amazona trek day 2/3

Second day, there was a huge tropical storm during the night, it calmed down in the morning but it was still raining. Today will be a wet day.

In the morning we got for a walk to try to spot sloths but when it is raining they climb higher in the trees and are harder to spot. We still managed to see a couple of them but they were so far away we couldn't see much.

By noun the rain stopped and after lunch and a small break we went for a 15km hike in the jungle to reach a lake and spot some caimans.

We were supposed to sleep here in hammocks but unfortunately the storm made them unusable until they dried, so we will do the return at night.

On the way it got all sunny and we were lucky enough to spot a closer sloth and a bunch of monkeys (and bullets ants!).

Once at the lake we waited for night time and our guide managed to catch two small caimans (around 60-80cm longs, adults can reach 4m), and then started the long walk back by night to find a giant viper snake just waiting in the middle of the path.Read more
