Following breakfast this morning we went for a 2 hour walk through the Jungle to the rescue centre. Although we didn’t see any exciting wildlife, the walk was interesting, we were also very glad we all had Wellington Boots on as the mud in some places was a little deep.
The rescue centre, however, had lots of interesting wildlife including Toucans, Green and Blue Headed Parrots, Capybara, Ocelots, Spider Monkeys, White Capuchins, Caymans, Turtles, and some others.
To return to our lodge we rode tubes down the river which was refreshing and relaxing, if not a little slow.
After lunch we went across the river to a local village where we visited a lady in her home and watched a demonstration on how to make Chicha (a Latin American beer type drink) from Cassava. We were also taught how to shoot an arrow through a traditional blow gun but all failed to hit the target :-). Next we went across the Napo River to Napo where we watched a demonstration on the local ceramic art which is made form the very fine clay of the river bed.
