Today we began our exploration in the jungle of Peru. Belluda Creek and El Dorado River are both great places to spot different types of animals and ecosystems. In the morning we spotted saki monkeys, tamarin monkeys, toucans, tanagers, herons, and more. In the afternoon our guests explored the area using kayaks, and later on we explored the jungle at night. We had a super beginning for our expedition!

Today we explored a remote location of the Amazon rainforest in the Upper Amazon of Perú, the Yarapa River and Clavero Lake. We saw woolly monkeys, wattle jacana eggs among the lily pads, squirrel monkeys, a three-toed sloth, and night hawks among the forest canopy. It was an engaging and memorable day.
Today was the first full day of our expedition in the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve, and it was filled with adventure from sunrise to sunset. Delfin II navigated to Yanaquillo Creek where we disembarked before breakfast and hopped aboard skiffs to explore this black-water tributary of the Marañón River. We were greeted by several black-collared hawks and playful pink river dolphins. After a delicious breakfast, our ship repositioned at Amazonas Natural Park, and we had a dry landing to explore the forest. We learned about the intricate relationships between trees and fungi, and we observed the various creatures that call the forest floor home. In the afternoon, we sailed to the Pucate River where kayaking was offered followed by a refreshing swim in the black waters. Shortly after, we explored the Yanayacu River, a tributary of the Pucate River where we spotted squirrel monkeys, three-toed sloths, and more pink river dolphins. It was truly a day to remember!
