                    Walk in the jungle 
                     
                     
                      
                    The next morning - we take the boat to reach our start point 
                    for the jungle walk.

                    We need to walk through swamps - soon I found  
                    out that my boots have a large hole! Our guide tells 
                    us, that many animals live here and that the 
                    Anaconda can be often seen. My boots are now filled 
                    with mud (and hopefully not with small animals...) 
                     
                     
                      
                     
                     
                      
                      
                    Climbing in the trees... 
                     
                     
                     
                      
                    The obligatory Tarzan test... 
                     
                     
                      
                    This is the plant for extracting the poison Curare 
                    (Strychnos toxifera). 
                     
                     
                      
                    Busy ants. We ate some with lemon taste.
