Thursday, February 12th - Today are going to travel by boat to the Explor Napo Lodge for a rain forest breakfast. After breakfast, we’ll hike to the spectacular Canopy Walkway, connected by tree platforms that reach a height of over 115 feet above the forest floor - all the while trying to keep a tally of the macaws we see. Later, we’ll visit the "ReNuPeRu" Ethnobotanical Garden where over 240 medicinal plants are cultivated by a local shaman who will explain the nature of Amazonian natural healing. Later in the afternoon we will return to Ceiba Tops Lodge and perhaps enjoy a short nap in the hammocks. I for one will be ready to catch thirty winks.

Tomorrow is a travel day where we leave Iquitos and the Amazon and we will spend the day making our way to Cusco, Peru.
