Our first day in the Amazon was everything we had hoped for. We awoke tied-off to a cecropia tree on the shores of the Marañon River, and loaded skiffs at six in the morning for our pre-breakfast bird-watching tour up Pahuachiro Creek. We then hiked through a private reserve where we saw a ten-foot long anaconda, a boa constrictor, a reticulated poison dart frog, and a tarantula. We finished our day with a ride up the Yanayaku River, with warm welcomes from a pair of pink river dolphins, and the highly sought-after hoatzin!
