A massive wetlands home to jaguars, monkeys, fancy birds and millions of crocodiles. We slept in hammocks at a campsite with no electricty, shared cold candlelight showers with frogs and were eaten alive by mosquitos (apart from Sophie who apparently tastes nasty) but it was lots of fun. We did lots of walks with guides searching for animals, rode horses through swamps, caught piranhas (apart from Aylish), did a night safari (crocodile eyes shine red in the light and the whole place was covered with red dots) and did boat trips.
