Cuyabeno - Part III
The mysteries of the jungle
During the day we did some excursions along the river, went to Laguna Grande and did awesome jungle walks. Our guide told us about the mysteries of the jungle. “Walking Trees” that can change their location, plants that can heal different deseases, leaves that can be used as a notebook and little branches as a replacement for cigarettes. We ate ants that tasted like lemon and swung on lianas through the jungle like Tarzan. We had a swim in the river with the caimans and watched river dolphins jumping in the water. We wade knee-deep through mud, hoping not to get anything into our boots, well, not everyone made it out with dry feet. At dusk we watched stunning sunsets on the lagoon and at night we looked up to the bright shining stars lighting up the sky.
