Another of the earth’s richest biodiversity sites, this one is a swamp of sorts. Fertile flood plains by dry season, islands of wildlife in the wet and general swampiness in-between. Animals include howler monkeys, lizards, piranha, anacondas, little sissy versions of crocodiles, lots of birds (including Macau and Jabiru) and apparently jaguars... though I saw none. The Piranha are surprisingly tasty, as well as fisty, and prove the old adverb of if we don’t eat them they’ll eat us.
Bonito: floating down a three and a half kilometre tropical aquarium, filled with colourful fish of all sizes, otters, sissy-odiles and other animals. Bliss. This snorkelling river is so clear the blue waters look surreal against the gold and silver fish and the intense green of the forest.
