After breakfast, we put on rubber boots to explore Casual Forest. This trail leads to an area with some snakes, frogs, and several species of plants native to the Upper Amazon in Peru. We encountered a red-tailed boa on the trail; this beautiful reptile was found among the dry leaves.
We had the opportunity to buy some souvenirs from local residents of the area. The Amazon tributaries are increasing their water level at this time; there is about 47 feet of difference between the high- and low-water cycles in the Upper Amazon.
In the afternoon we visited Nauta Cano, where we had the opportunity to kayak and paddleboard in the Amazon. After kayaking we enjoyed a skiff ride along Nauta Cano, where we spotted three different species of monkeys, three species of kingfishers — and at the end of the skiff ride we had a spectacular sunset.
