This day we headed to the Yasuni Parrot Lick. The lick is located on the edge of Yasuní National Park, a short canoe trip down the Napo River. Recently, the park service has set up blinds in order to watch the parrots. We saw dozens and dozens of different parrots. The cost of $20 per person for entrance into the National Park is well worth it.
One of the guys in our group only cared about seeing a Red Macaw, which did not make an appearance. We did end up seeing one two days later.
In the afternoon we lounged by the lagoon, had a few beers, and got to know some of our fellow travelers. The beers were 22 ounces and $2. Kaboom!
Dinner was a BBQ on the "Sun Deck" next to the lagoon. This was one of the highlights of the trip, for sure. The native guides joined us for dinner, and everyone had a good time. After dinner, we witnessed one of the most incredible thunder storms I've ever seen.
Adventure Life has been an extraordinary travel resource for us over the years and today was no exception. Our River Cruise booking was handled by Jess (who has been our personal trip planner for several years) the same day as our inquiry. Suggestions were given for cabin choice and pre-trip options (that were not shown on the cruise line's website) like airport transfers and prepaid gratuities. Trip insurance recommendations followed and we were assigned a travel co-ordinator till the end of the tour. All we have to do is show up! Great service from friendly folks.

Our travel was flawless! The rider pickup (airport, hotel, ship) was seamless. Jane's recommendation for Emerald Cruise Sakara was everything I wanted but the experience was soooo much more. Adventure Life took care of each and every detail and this was the easiest of all my travels.
