Aaron & David from Canada visited the The Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve from Apr 16-18, the largest protected area in all the floodable Amazon rainforest in South America with twice the area of the Yellowstone National Park (USA).

During the trip, we spotted many wildlife species as the smooth-fronted caiman (Paleosuchus trigonatus), boa and anaconda, the Peruvian Red-necked Owl Monkey (Aotus nancymae), white-fronted capuchin (Cebus albifrons), red howler (Alouatta seniculus), pichico or Brown-mantled_tamarin (Saguinus fusciocollis), pink Amazon dolphin (Inia geoffrensis), sloths (Bradypus sp.), and a family group of river otter (Pteronura brasiliensis). Also, we spotted the hoatzin (Opisthocomus hoazín), and macaws (Ara ararauna).
