This morning we got the chance to put our rubber boots to good use again, and explore a privately owned preserve by foot. The preserve is adjacent to the water, and at this time of the year when the water is high, finding these places where the water doesn’t reach is greatly appreciated. It gives us an opportunity to stretch our legs a little and see the forest from a different perspective, from the inside and beneath the trees. During the full length of the walk we were led by our expert naturalists who helped spot wildlife and explain how the forest works.

Dorado Forest and Pacaya River
We had an absolutely beautiful morning, starting before breakfast for a skiff exploration followed by a forest walk to visit a small community made of a few families whose main activity is fishing. Our journey on skiffs was a very rewarding one! All of us photographing every creature we found there. As we explored the forest, we had some amazing sightings! The trees were full of surprises as there were troops of squirrel monkeys, to the delight of everyone! This forest is home to the charming toucan barbet and the elusive yellow-crowned parrot. In the afternoon we explored Pacaya River for more wildlife sightings. This place is amazing due to the abundance of wildlife. This part of the reserve is home to several types of monkeys, birds, caimans, and river dolphins!
