AMAZON DOLPHIN LODGE
We took a jungle boat ride up a tributary to the Piguali lagoon. We joined up with a group at the Amazon Dolphin Lodge for 2 nights. This boat ride was the real jungle cruise, with real piranah, real snakes, and real aligators (caiman). We went on some nature walks and fishing excursions while staying at the ecolodge. Our guide was amazing. He was very knowledgable about the medicinal purposes of the flora and fauna. Two days before we joined the group, he was pulling out large anacondas out of the river. We saw the pictures. We saw some of the wildest plant and animal life while staying at the lagoon. Our guide made us bracelets and necklaces with local plant fibers and seeds. He also gave us temporary jungle tatoos with a local plant.
