Amazon Adventure

To say this was an adventure of a life time is an understatement. It wasn't long after the MY Tucano left the dock in Manaus that I spotted my first of many grey dolphins. The Rio Negro was so expansive it looked more like an ocean than a river.

Galapagos and Amazon -Feast for the senses (and stomach)

Galapagos and Amazon- Birds, Tortoises and Iguanas

By paddling, hiking and biking you get close to so many unusual birds and reptiles. I felt like we were in the Center of the Earth. I thought that it is impossible for birds to have blue feet- but here they are, living next to penguins on the equator.

Sacha Lodge - Ecuadorian Amazon

The amazing Amazon and Adventure life. A dream come true for me. As a child I always dreamed of going to the Amazon. Growing up in the Bronx there wasn't a whole lot of wild life, except for some squirrels and some sparrows.
