Amazonian motmots, channel-billed toucans, ivory-billed aracaris, and red-bellied macaws were just a few of the many bird species that we observed during our morning exploration of Belluda Creek, in the Yanallpa region of the Ucayali River. Green iguanas, saddle-backed tamarins, and three-toed sloths added to the excitement of our excursion.
The wildlife count kept growing during the latter part of the day when we ventured into the Dorado River and waited after sunset to look for nocturnal animals using our spotlights. We found spectacled caimans, fishing bats, and other interesting creatures.
