Early morning found us on a treasure hunt aboard our trusty skiffs on the Ucayali River. The early bird gets the worm, but the early bird watcher gets the best birds! Macaws, parrots, egrets and herons, as well as a myriad of small opulent rainforest birds were the reward for getting up at the crack of dawn to go on a birding adventure!
After breakfast we explored Belluda Caño for even more wildlife and were richly rewarded for our efforts. Our afternoon took us into and passed the sunset on Río El Dorado, looking for monkeys, sloths, and even more of our feathery friends. Once darkness had settled, the red glowing eyes of caimans could be discerned from great distances, leading us right to these crocodilian predators…just follow the red glowing eyes by flashlight!
