Our last full day of exploration of the Pacaya-Samiria Reserve in the Upper Amazon in Peru was filled with all the required ingredients that have made this expedition a successful one with great animal sightings, intercultural experiences with the local inhabitants of the area, wonderful company and excellent meals with regional flavors.  In the morning while exploring “Zapote Caño” we had several great sightings of monk saki monkeys. These strange-looking primates were observed for a long time feeding on the red ripe fruits of a tree. We turned off the skiffs’ engines and had a great look at one of the most unusual monkey species of the Neotropics.  The afternoon was spent exploring Supay Caño by skiff rides. This relatively narrow water channel, locally known as “caño” is covered with a thick vegetation with many bromeliads and huge Ficus trees. Several species of colorful birds like macaws were seen as well as some few monkey troops.
