On the Marañón River we stopped to hike at Casua in some terra firme jungle – higher land that is never flooded by the river. There we saw various poison arrow frogs, a red tailed boa and a Cayman lizard. Later we went fishing for piranha in the Nauta Caño creek, and then visited a park ranger station where we picked up some just-hatched turtles to release into the wild.
Later in the day we stopped at the village of 20 de Enero on the banks of the Pucarte River, where we visited their local palm oil soap industry and their school, and played a quick game of volleyball against the villagers. A local boy showed us the anaconda snake he had captured and a woman showed her newly captured, young pet kinkajou.
We finished the day eating the piranha we had caught.
