Manu Photo Album

A white caiman grins after devouring his breakfast.

Once deeper into the jungle, caiman began to become a common site along the river banks. Both the black and white variety could be seen sunning themselves on the rocks or floating close to shore in anticipation of a low flying bird. At one point The Dragon counted 5 caiman within a 50 meter stretch of water! The sight gave him something to think about during his early morning swim the next day.

My camera broke mid-trip folks so I had to rely on this postcard to capture the moment!!
