    Default Expedition to Rio Nanay-Perú

    Hi guys,

    We have just arrived from the Peruvian Amazon and we had a great time over there! ;D

    This time, we were very fortunate to have a selected group of fish-addict friends who joined us in this adventure: Daniel Gillespie, David Hlasnick, Luis Tamarelle and John Vandemark.

    Here we are at the Miami Airport about to board the plane to Lima.... 8)

    Our expedition started in Iquitos, heart of the Peruvian jungle.

    We visited an arapaima hatchery and we were avid spectators of the ritual process to catch arapaimas…

    We also went searching for dart frogs in the middle of the jungle. Hard to see these tiny creatures but we were delighted when we found them.

    Here some pics……

    We went to the local dock to board the “big boat” and sail the Nanay River for 4 days: no TV, no radio, no telephone, no computer, nothing! Just piranhas all over the river!
