On the way, we saw the Owl butterfly, perfectly camouflaged in the surroundings. Jorge also showed us the Death finger mushroom. When you squeeze it, a liquid comes out. Just 5 drops of it are enough to cure any kind of ear infection.
We also saw a beautifully camouflaged tree spider. It was hardly visible to the nacked eye.
Jorge also showed us the snake tree, so called since it seems to keep peeling off the other skin as it grows. It was nice and cool to the touch. The skin has some oils as well which make it flammable. The locals use it for lighting a fire during the wet season when everything is wet and hard to burn.

We were back at the camp by 12 pm. At about 1 pm, we had our lunch.
The plan for the afternoon was to wait for 2 more people to join us and then go for an evening/night walk. If they don't reach by 4 pm, we would start the walk anyways.Leggi altro
