We wake in the morning to the growling howls of monkeys. As the water narrows, the forest seems to quicken. Strangler figs flow over their hosts like melting candles, trees hang heavy with the nests of ants, wasps, termites, and birds.
Pink freshwater dolphins surface near to the canoe, open the tops of their heads and gasp.
Written by Sy Montgomery. Published by Simon and Schuster. This book is about the tales and folk lores of the pink dolphin and was researched while at the Amazonia Expeditions lodge. Here we can find the greatest diversity of flora and fauna known on the planet. The Tamshiyacu-Tahuayo Reserve, in Peru's Department of Loreto, is a magnificent example.
