The eco-resort
Last week of my holiday in Peru I stayed at an eco-resort in the rain forest. In an eco-resort you don't have much luxury. I didn't have a warm shower or electricity. But candles are more romantic and do you realy need a radio or televison when you hear the birds and the crickets? In the middle of the rain forest uou have to enjoy the sounds of nature and just relax. When you wanted to walk through the forest, you could choose between several trails, but when you wanted to relax you could also read a book in a hammock. The eco resort was build by indians with natural materials. The cooke also was an indian, so the locals did earn some money because of the tourists. The Peruvian government was wise enough not to build large hotels into the jungle. Also it was  forbidden to build a house in the jungle, except a house for the locals.

Butterflies
One part of the tourist program was a visit to a  butterfly farm. purpose of this farm is to preveserve all the different kind of butterflies. Oke, I saw some pretty butterflies, but when you've visited the butterfly garden in the zoo of Emmen, then you're not impressed. In the rain forest itself, at a lake I saw some of the same butterflies in the wild.

Mushrooms
When you walk on a trail you see things like trees, liana's ats and also....mushrooms. At first you don't see the mushrooms, but when you look a little bit closer, you see a  leave that's actualy a mushroom. Also those cute little  white flowers seems to be mushrooms.

Ants
Besides mushrooms you see a lot of ants and ant hils. Some ant hils do have increadable shapes. I've seen a pudding and.....well, sorry, but I realy wanted to put this pornograpic picture at my site: a penis ant hil! You would think an artist did make this in clay, but no, it's realy made by ants. By the way, the ant is the most occurent animal of the whole world.

Ara's
Nearby the eco resort there was an observation place for Ara's. These parats eat poisoned berry's and to neutralize the poison, the eat clay near the river. It's fun to be below ara's in a hut. They make  alot of noise! Unfortuantely they were just a little bit to far away to see them on the photo's.

Rain forest in general
When you're in the rain forest you realy can relax. It's not silent, on the contrary: you hear birds, crickets, strange sounds and monkey's. There're gigantic trees, strainge insects, special ant hils etc. etc. You do see something new every day. You don't see wild animals, because they're afraid for human beings. But when you're a child, you can be eaten by a puma.

The only thing I didn't like in the rain forest are the mosquito's. Ants are not a problem, when you don't leave your food open on the table.zijn de muggen. But in the evening and also at dark places during the day, you see mosquito's. My special jungle throuser wasn't cheep, but it was worth the money! Also be sure you sleep under a mosquito net.

Which animals have I seen?
I've seen a lot of animals. During a boat trip I saw a little aligator. (ca 60 cm) and an otter (at ca 200 meter distance) I saw a lot of birds and also some pretty butterflies. When I was brushing my teeth in my room at the eco resort, I suddenly heart some strange noises. I watched out my window (without glass) and I saw some monkey's walking from branche to branche. Unfortunately it was to dark to take a photo. I also saw a lot of insects, two insects on a tree I have never seen before and I still don't know what of a species they were. Near the resort they had made a watch tower and it was awsom to stand there, watching over the forest, trees as far as you could see, hearing all kind of jungle sounds.
