We begin at the Mishana-Allpahuayo White Sand Forest Reserve outside Iquitos, where a number of rare species have been found including this Brown-banded Puffbird…
…and this fantastic Rufous Potoo, one of the rarest of the potoos!
We’ll then visit Explornapo Lodge and the marvelous Canopy Walkway
Located in the heart of the Amazon rainforest…
…and suspended between 15 different trees…
…the walkway allows safe access to an amazing and very different environment - the canopy!
It’s not only birders that use the walkway - this White-necked Puffbird perched on one of the support cables while searching for lunch.
One gets superb views of species that appear as tiny specks from the ground. This Opal-crowned Tanager…
…this Blue-crowned Trogon…
…or this Scale-breasted Woodpecker.
Black-fronted Nunbirds perch around our accommodation at Explornapo Lodge…
…and amazing Amazonian specialties, such as this Pavonine Quetzal, can be found within walking distance
Spotted Puffbird, one of the rarest of puffbirds, is regular along the Rio Sucasari at Explornapo Lodge…
…another amazing puffbird, the Collared Puffbird, can be seen sitting quietly along the forest trails…
…and Striped Manakin is just one of seven species of manakins possible at Explonapo.
The Amazon rainforest is full of really interesting creatures, such as this amazing tiger-patterned caterpillar, …
…and this bizarre frog.
