mazon. We went back to the boat where a delicious breakfast was waiting for us. After breakfast we went on a hike in the jungle where we had the chance to see one of the deadliest insects in the Amazon, Tu con dera, a species of large ants. We also learned about the different plant life in the jungle and the uses that the natives have for all of the different plants. We learned about the sap from a tree that the natives use in order to start fires. We had a great time exploring the jungle and learning more about how people interact with this environment. Later in the day we all had the chance to go swimming from the boat. After dinner we had class on the boat where we presented our group projects and then all played pictionary with different phrases and words from our trip so far. We had a great day on the boat and we learned alot about how the natives interact with the river and the jungle around them.

Today we woke up at 5:30 AM for our first full day on the Amazon Premium Clipper. We went on a canoe tour of the Rio Negro where we went bird watching and were able to see many different species of birds in their natural habitat. We saw a couple of Toucans, Macaws, Turkey Vultures, Osprey and many other birds of the Amazon. We went back to the boat where a delicious breakfast was waiting for us.
