For centuries, river people have moved along the Amazonian rivers on dugout canoes. Even today, this mode of transportation is the best way to explore the creeks: navigating slowly, listening to the sounds of the jungle, and observing nature the way ribereño people see the forest.
If you are a bird watcher, you can observe and photograph many species that feed and nest close to the river shores. Many primates such as brown capuchins, squirrel monkeys, and saddle-backed tamarins are easy to spot. You may even catch a glimpse of rare and elusive creatures like river otters.
At some point we will stop and fish for piranha. We carry aboard wooden poles with string and meat — when the piranha bites, you lift up the pole and voilà. Not to worry, we will retrieve the fish for you.
