Our last full day at the Amazon couldn’t have been any better!
The day starting with a lovely sunrise that invited our adventurous guests for an early kayak ride. The quietness of the kayaks allowed our guest to get closer to the wildlife, which became more active as the day went on, and the sun warme them up.
Right after breakfast, we all got ready for the skiff ride, this time with the chance to get deeper into the Iricahua Creek in the search of more birds and animals. It didn’t take to long for us to start spotting macaws, jacanas, kingfishers and many more residents of this creek—it was another great morning for all of us.
But the day was not over yet, and the afternoon was saving an amazing surprise for all of us. The skiff ride started with lots of egrets and many other birds, including a juvenile agami heron, which is usually a very shy bird. We were all very excited, but no one had any idea of what was coming up ahead of us.
As we made our way up the Yarapa River, a little noise up in a tree called the attention of one of our naturalists. Looking up a bit more carefully, he discovered a monk saki monkey! Everyone was so excited, the cameras and binoculars were drawn—no matter how, we wanted to catch a view of this unique looking primate.
Finally, it was time to go back to the Delfin II, and like every day of our expedition so far, it was time to enjoy another gorgeous sunset.
