An early breakfast at 6am and we are off to explore fauna on the river. A very bumpy open air truck ride to the water’s edge, with a fantastic 3 hours to follow on the river. Great Egret, Great Keeskadee,  Yellow billed Cardinal, Nanaday Parakeet, Jabiru, catapulting caiman, and ‘mr cool’ caiman…can I swim right by you??

And later in the afternoon,  a walk to the monkey tower to get a view over the wetlands.

Thundery showers predicated for tonight and tomorrow. I am leaving for the Jaguar House Boat, some 6 hours drive away…it will be an amazing 4 days on board to see Jaguars, anacondas and other wild animals!!!!
