Jungle Time

A 3 hr boat ride out of Rurre we headed up stream into the Madidi National park rain forest to our camp. Unfortunately the rain forest was living up to its name and we arrived in the camp soaked to be greated by a lot of mud.
An afternoon walk into the jungle to find some wildlife, successful finds included wild pigs, a family of monkeys and a lot of spiders.

A night expedition revealed a lot of big spiders and other

bugs, including a very poisonous jumping spider that I was taking a picture of until our guide rugby tackled me out of its firing line, turns out they can kill you pretty quick!

We headed back into the jungle the following day and managed to track down a pair of forest chickens?! some Parrots and the largest snail EVER!

Another night hike revealed yet more supersized reptiles as we found a toad the size of your head!!

The final morning we went for one last hike into the jungle and managed to track down another family of wild pigs that walked straight past us, before we all jumped back in the boat and headed back down stream to Rurrenebaque.
