We had an early breakfast aboard Delfin II, and we were eagerly anticipating the day. Our plan was to venture deep into the heart of the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve.

The scenery of the flooded forest was spectacular. We saw flocks of cormorants swimming and diving for their meals. Jabirus and wood storks gathered near small ponds, searching for food as well. All the guests enjoyed those unique moments.

As we began to look for more wildlife, several black caimans and spectacle caimans appeared on the surface of the Pacaya River. Red howler monkeys were up in the canopy of emergent layers, and we spotted brown capuchins collecting the fruit of the canon ball tree. A family of giant river otters emerged to inspect our guests and swam away.

We finished our expedition in the refreshing black waters of Yanayacu Lagoon while pink dolphins swam around us. It was the great finale of our day exploring the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve.
