We saw loads of animals, insects and amazing birds in the wild and also some more that we hadn't seen in an animal rescue centre. Dee's favourites were the Tapir, Toucans and the Orupendula (bird) who's call sounds like a drop of water. Phil liked the spiders!
See the list after the photos of what we have seen.....
We visited the native Siona tribe where we were shown how to make bread from Yucca and met their Shaman, who explained about his work - and let Phil have a go with a blow pipe.
From Misahualli we rode to Puerto Barantilla, (just one house beside the river), where we took a canoe to an animal rescue centre.
A mostly very wet ride out of the jungle, more landslides, raging rivers and waterfalls to ride under!
