Recent Activities

Now on their way back to Iquitos, here are a few things the team have been up to...

Wild Fire

Just come back from their jungle living phase. The base camp should have been well set up there now (but sadly they'll now have to take it all down and 'leave no trace'). Wild have recently completed an evening canoe safari which saw them paddling back in the dark to camp - much excitement all round experiencing the jungle's nightlife awaken.

Caiman Fire

Recently spent the day exploring some of the narrowest tributaries in the Amazon by canoe. They then rafted up in the dark and floated down to camp. Whilst on their jungle living, Caiman constructed the Amazon water park made up of a slide and rope swing into the river - recently enjoyed by Wild Fire

Caiman also completed a mega long transect where they ended up poking though jungle and bumping into the jungle living group at a nearby cocha (pond).

On the other boat, Ucayali and Pride enjoyed the last few days of their science projects by completing the macaw surveys, jungle transects and caiman studies - look out for the results in the coming months.

Expedition moves down river

After a brief call from the expedition we can report that all is well.

The boats are moving back down river on their way to Iquitos and plan to stop off at the village of San Martine to get a taste of real Amazonian life and play some football with the locals.

Tomorrow they will be heading to Nauta and Iquitos.
