25 October 2015 ~ Squirrel Monkeys & Iquana

Listening to:  Bright Eyes ~ First Day of My Life

Our first day out on the Amazon was let by our guide Maximo. His grandfather is a shaman and he told us all about his experiences with ayahuasca tea and how there are so many fake teas and retreats popping up.

Our scout Robert found squirrel monkeys in the treetops.

They are equipped with a long and hairy tail, flat nail and pointed claws. The tail is used as a balancing and as a tool rather than for climbing.

We kept confusing bromeliads with animals.

Maximo noticed this iquana. Can you find it on the tree branch?
