A beautiful calm and relatively cool morning opened our expedition today. We had a persistent drizzle rain that did not stop us from exploring the area. After breakfast as the rain decreased its intensity, we went to explore Supay Caño by skiff boats. Wildlife is usually very active after the rain, for critters came out to eat later in the day. We were very lucky for we saw many bird species like flycatchers, nighthawks, herons, kites, tanagers, parrots, etc. We even spotted a couple of the rarely seen dusky titi monkeys high up in the canopy. In the afternoon the sun was shining and we had a beautiful visit to Puerto Miguel. We admired the giant water lilies and paid a visit to the largest and most diverse handcrafts market in this side of the Ucayali River. At sunset, reluctantly, we came back onboard with our minds and spirits filled with all the new adventures and feelings that the Upper Amazon left in our lives.
