Amazonian Rainforest

3-9 September 2006

We created our own trip to the rainforest with a company called Rainforest Expeditions. http://www.perunature.com/ We had one guide, Gerson, for 7 days and we stayed at two separate lodges (Posada and Refugio). There´s too much to be said about these 7 days so in summary: 2 canopy tower trips, 3 lakes, countless river trips, 4 fishing expeditions, 3 catfish (one 15 pounder, 2 half pounders), 2 pirahnya eaten and many caught, about 100 peccary http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peccary, 4 species of macaw, about 100 bird species, tens of butterfly and moth species, 2 claylicks, 1 gecko (in our shower), zillions of leaf-cutter ants, hundreds of termites, several lizard species, many capybara http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capibara, countless spiders, many toucans, 2 praying mantids, many bats, 10 species of frogs, 5 species of monkeys, one farm, one shaman, and one enormous moon.
