Going to the jungle means you get to see and interact with cool jungle animals, as evidenced by the following photos. As our group was particularly enamored of the monkeys, let's start with those:
 |
| They're not shy about clambering all over you, particularly if you're offering fruit treats |
 |
| Nick even got a friend to ride around on his head during our canoe trip |
 |
| Super-friendly bald uakari monkeys |
 |
| The one named Lisa (la mona Lisa, get it?) especially loved to play |
 |
| Baby wooly monkey |
 |
| Saki monkey - so fluffy |
 |
| Spider monkey |
 |
| Ocelot: relatively small-sized but very large-eyed cat |
 |
| We also saw a jaguar, but the photo about its food is better than the photo of the actual cat |
 |
| Capybara: super-sized relative of a guinea pig |
 |
| Coati - reminded me of the tricksy ones that try to steal your lunch at Iguazú |
 |
| Giant anteater! |
 |
| Lots of beautiful butterflies - the reserve we visited had 17 varieties |
 |
| Macaw parrot |
 |
| Adorable baby manatees at a wildlife preservation NGO - their bristly whiskers tickled when we fed them plant leaves |
 |
| This tree was full of hanging birds' nests |
 |
| So many termites - the indigenous people use them as natural bug repellent |
 |
| We saw lots of turtles hanging around, including this prehistoric-looking giant |
 |
| Toucan! When they're not flying, they take giant two-foot hops instead of walking |
 |
| Sloth! Who has a much better name in Spanish: oso perezoso (lazy bear) |
 |
| Nocturnal frogs we found on our night expedition |
 |
| Piranha, fresh-caught from the Amazon |
 |
| Don't worry, Amanda survived the anaconda attack :) |
