On the 15th volunteers will be arriving to Puerto Maldonado airport where I will meet and escort everyone back to the hotel for the night. We can spend the time getting to know one another and preparing for the boat journey the following morning. At 6am on the 12th we embark on our journey into the jungle where we will be living for the duration of the trip. Once at the sesearch station we will begin executing our projects and studying and exploring the surrounding rainforest, adding to the ongoing census which Tamandua and Saona are undertaking of the local flora and fauna.
Along with a longer duration for the expedition, another exciting aspect of the upcoming trip will be our planned journey to the Rio Las Piedras. Traveling for two days by river we will be able to access some of the most remote and pristine rainforest on earth, and have the opportunity to view some truly incredible natural spectacles. One of the greatest of these is the Piedras macaw colpa, where dozens of red and green, as well as scarlet macaws can be seen feeding and socializing on the exposed clay and salt deposits there. Also we will be exploring the secluded beauty of a pristine tributary where numerous rare and endangered species exist, among them black caiman, giant river otters, freshwater stingrays and jaguar. During this part of the expedition we will be camping each night, and living a truly adventurous five days in some of the most remote and beautiful wilderness anywhere on earth.
It is looking like a truly incredible trip, and both myself and the staff in Infierno are looking forward
to getting started!
