Rain Forests


The start ofthe Rio Napo adventure	Roughin' it at Yachana	Juan with one of student groups at Yachana	We're supposed to hike through that???

Our fearless leaders	Tasty Yachana treats, lemon ants	Morgan attempts to weave	Yachana view of Rio Napo and lowland forest

Alberto, one of our native guides, explaining the medicinal value of native flora	Magnificent buttress roots	On the way to La Selva	Not all the forest animals are free

La Selva cabanas	View of Kapoc tree from the Rio Napo	It's not as easy as it looks!	The beauty of a butterfly

Jolene 'Deadeye' Falz	Birds of Paradise, Heliconia sp	Army ants on the march	Spiny palm more fondly known as Nate's bane

Owleye butterfly	Walking stick or grasshopper	Can you find the walking stick?	Paddling through Mandicocha

Beauty in spite of an unappealing diet	Don't mess with me!	Birding from the heights, La Selva observation tower	Leaf mimic toad

Nectar of the gods and its even fair trade	Another reason to stay inside at night- or maybe not to!	Orbweaver spider	Cool cup fungus

Oropendola nests outside La Selva lodge	Lizard at La Selva	Need I say more- cool!!	On our way home from La Selva
