The remaining group of five of us from the boat took a trip into the Jungle together. We weren't sure what we would see, but we knew that it was going to be a great trip.After a bus ride and boat ride, we arrived at our Albergue in the Jungle. We looked around and were impressed at how nice it was, and then had our first of many delicious meals and knew we had made the right decision to go.
First, we lathered up with repellent and then went into the jungle to begin our exploration. For the sake of time and space, I'm just going to list some of the highlights of our trip.

* The huge trees and the strangling trees (predatory trees which literally 'strangle' a tree, sucking up all of its life, eventually killing the original tree)
* Eating protein-rich larvae from a tree. (Not as easy to swallow as we thought it would be...it sort of squirted out its guts - yuck!)
* Drinking fresh, delicious, cool water from a tree. Seriously. There's a certain tree which holds fresh drinking water. Amazing!* Holding a baby cayman in our hands
* Catching - and then eating - piranhas
