Day 11 - Amazon - June 20th

We left on the boats upstream at 5:30 this morning. It was raining, so we had our ponchos on. We took the boats upriver for 1.5 hours to another lodge where the canopy walk was located. When we got to the lodge we had breakfast first. This lodge had a pet capybara named Charlie that escorted us everywhere we went. A tarantula also fell from the ceiling and died because it fell from such a height and its abdomen is heavy. It landed right next to our guide Heather, and she jumped up screaming and ran out of the lodge. We then got in smaller boats and went further into the jungle to the canopy walk. There were 13 bridges in the tree tops, starting at 12 feet above ground, going to 118 feet at the highest point. It was really cool. Josh liked to try to swing and bounce on the bridges. Once we got back to the lodge, we had lunch, then went for a short walk to the medicine gardens and talked to a local shaman. He gave Josh a relaxation/purifying ritual and gave us temporary tattoos. When we got back to Ceiba Tops that afternoon, it started raining again. We took a nap until dinner time. After dinner there was a show with music and dancing from some local teens at a nearby village called Indiana. They brought out an anaconda and also danced with Josh.
