Delfin II
The first light of the morning woke us up accompanied by an array of loud and bodacious sounds. Welcome to the world of neotropic birds! Soon after, we took to the skiffs for our first exploration and, after a nutritious breakfast, we headed for a hike in the forest. In the afternoon we explored another caño (tributary) searching for, and finding, additional interesting wildlife.

Delfin II
Leaving Delfin II at 06:00 for our morning skiff ride, we explored the Marayali River, a river that bisects the Pacaya-Samiria National Park. Coppery titi monkeys and a plethora of birdlife rewarded our efforts. After a scrumptious breakfast, we visited the village of Amazonas to see how local people live and flourish along the mighty Amazon River. In this community of people, there is a very strong presence from Minga Peru, an NGO that empowers women to create artisan crafts as well as manage fish farms to raise fish for sale. Our day was topped off with a cruise along Piranha Creek which emptied into the Ucayali River. Going downstream we met up at the junction with the Marañon River, the very beginning of the mighty Amazon River! We stopped and raised a glass to this amazing river!

Delfin II
Today we explored the truly wild Pacaya River, the furthest river from civilization on our expedition, which took us deep into the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve. In order to go as far and for as long as we could, we started early and had breakfast at the “Jungle Café” while birds, amphibians, weird insects, and monkeys kept us entertained. Later, some of us took the opportunity to jump into Amazonian waters for a swim before going back onboard for a well-earned lunch. We changed locations, now sailing fast down the Ucayali for an afternoon of kayaking and more exploration.
