On the last full day of our expedition on the amazingly biodiverse Peruvian Upper Amazon, we visited the Amazon Natural Park early in the morning. In this privately-owned reserve, we crossed a small lagoon on local catamarans, then walked to arrive at a long suspension bridge. Our experienced Delfin II naturalists talked about several famous rainforest plant species and some other fascinating ecological aspects of the neotropical rainforest.
We enjoyed a succulent Peruvian lunch, and we observed many pink river dolphins from the dining room; soon we joined them to explore the Yanayacu River by skiff rides. This beautiful river is covered with thick vegetation where our naturalists and skiff drivers spotted several species of monkeys and colorful birds.
Upon our return to the ship in the evening, we watched the guest slide show of the week and enjoyed a farewell cocktail dinner. Live music performed by our talented crew was the golden finale for a successful expedition in this remarkable region of our planet.
