Our second day started with a good breakfast. I dont remember what fresh joice we had that day but i do remember that each day it was a new one. It might've been passion fruit juice that day.
After breakfast it was time to walk around the forrest looking for various monkeys that live there. We already saw squirrel monkeys and howler monkeys on the trail that brought us to the lodge on the first day. And today we were looking for 3 remaining types of monkeys.
Unfortunately although our guide thought that he heard capuchin monkey, we were not able to find them that time. We did see howler monkeys up close again.
After few hours of hiking around rainforest and enjoying the nature, we returned back to the lodge for our lunch and a bit of rest.
The second part of the day we spent on the lake looking for Giant Otters and Black Caymans.
As we came down to the pier to get into our boat, this was the first time we saw a glimpse of Coco, the neighborhood friendly Black Cayman
After a bit of paddling around the beautiful lake, we saw a family of Giant Otters fishing. Unfortunately they kept their distance from our boat.
We watched them for a while as they were getting fish for their pup.
As the sun started to set, we moved to the other side of the lake. After watching beautiful sunset in the middle of the lake in the middle of the rainforest, we started looking for Black Caymans. We moved along the coast in a pitch black, using our flashlight to look for the reflections from Cayman's eyes.
It was not hard to find a Cayman.. (it was much harder to take a good picture of it in the dark) But we got too close. We got so close in fact that i think we might've spooked it. It jerked, hit our boat and went into the water. It almost flipped our boat (which would not have been good). But at the end, we were only slightly wet from all the water it splashed into our boat.
After this interesting encountere, we returned back into the lodge for yet another nice dinner.
Very well ececuted. Hily recomended. Great experiance

I've worked with Adventure Life before in planning trips and appreciate the quality of trips they put together. They use knowledgeable local guides, comfortable lodgings, and assist with transportation. I find trip planning stressful, so am happy to turn it over to them. They work within our parameters of time, budget, activity level, and types of activities to give us great experiences!

We have been working with Adventure Life for 5 years now and it is very easy to plan out our trips. Our holidays include customization of activities and side trips along with the standard packages available on the Adventure Life website. Kevin, Jess, Mary Rose and their teams have many recommendations that have enhanced our travel.

We went to the Patagonia on the Chile side and Perito Moreno in El Calafate, Argentina. Eric of San Diego handled our trip with expertise. The preparation went smoothly, despite some changes on our part with scheduling conflicts. He offered great advice which made us feel at ease with all decisions on the trip. It was truly a great experience.
