Aug 26, 2019 - Delfin II
Our expedition started in great form, with an early outing before breakfast followed by another right afterwards, and many of us took the option to go kayaking. When in the rainforest or the tropics in general, it is always rewarding to go out with the first light, and today was no exception as the many sightings in our lists demonstrate. In the afternoon we hiked across primeval forest to the hanging bridges of the Amazon National Park. From there, we accessed a different perspective of the forest, that of the many organisms that live in the canopy area. Sailing into the sunset, we continued exploring the Marañón River for the remainder of the day.
