Early morning near the lodge
An Amazon parking lot
Our lodge for the four days in the jungle - Ceibas Tops
Heading out along the Amazon
The base of a large Ceiba tree near the lodge
There were many colorful lizards running around the lodge grounds
Our guide Cesar turning Sue into an authentic native
Local natives performing a traditional dance in their communal lodge
The village chief showing us how to use the blowgun
He hit the target with no trouble
A novice blowgunner has a go.
Village kids
Giant lilly pads
Sue and her friend the baby sloth.
Catch of the day ... the fearsome piranha
Passing out pencils to the village children
Debris in the Amazon presents navigational problems during high water season
Sue on the canopy walk
Looking down to the forest floor from a canopy platform
A small Whip Snake
Sue and shaman performing a wellness ceremony.
A baby anteater
A typical river scene
River boat at susnset
An Owl Moth with markings which make it appear to be a much lager owl, thus deterring would-be predators
A tarantula we came across on our night walk through the jungle
A large jungle frog also at night
Early morning and a hut along the river
A young fisherman coming to show us his catch
Two large catfish the young lad had caught before breakfast
Riding the three-wheeled motorcycle taxi en route to the village of Indiana
Refueling with a litre bottle of gasoline
A wild mackaw that hung around the lodge and was quite friendly
An Explorama launch like the one taking us back to Iquitos
