    While we were walking back, it became extremely dark. The heat, the humidity and the vapor in the air reduced the visibility to a few meters even with a torchlight. We heard many different birds, insects and other denizens of the rainforest.
    We saw some crickets, a big tarantula in its nest. Jorge managed to coax it out of the burrow so we got to take some good pictures.
