Jan 18, 2019 - Delfin II
Today we went up the Rio Pacaya, into the farthest reaches of our expedition. Amid our first sustained rains of the trip, we took breakfast in our skiffs and continued upriver to highwater lakes for our much anticipated dip in Amazon waters. We spent the afternoon at scenic Magdalena Creek, where the sun finally broke through, and we watched parakeets, macaws, and toucans until dusk whisked us back to the Delfin II.
