Cucarachas

I spent the last three days in the Amazon Jungle...La Selva to be exact. This is in a very remote part of ecuador...from quito it took 30 minutes on a plane to Coca then a 3 hour motorized canoe ride down a river, followed by a 1 hour hike and then another 30 minute canoe ride to reach our lodge. The lodge was very pimp by jungle standards...three course meals, hot water, etc. I had a private hut which i shared with about a dozen cockroaches (jungle sized). We did about 2 or 3 hikes each day...saw plenty of huge insects, hundreds of parrots and other exotic birds, and some caimons. I did fish for pirannahs...but unfortunately the buggers are just to fast...after lowering a piece of meat on a hook into the water within 20 seconds it would be polished off...very frustrating. Weather was perfect...rained for 15 minutes one day.

Lake that we spotted caimon by night, fished for piranahs in the evenings and swam in during the day
