INTO THE AMAZON JUNGLE: PACAYA SAMIRIA, IQUITOS PERU!!!
DEEP INTO THE AMAZON JUNGLE
Want to see what a trek into the Amazon Jungle in Peru is like? WATCH ON!!!
This one has been a long time coming. The desire to reach the Amazon Jungle and explore it is something I have dreamed about for years... I guess some dreams really do come true!!!
I passed on the option to stay in an expensive jungle lodge, and instead we slept in tents under a dark sky blanketed in a sea of stars. We fell asleep to a cacophony of living noise that only the jungle can create. We awakened each morning to the deliriously creepy sounding cries of wailing red howler monkeys.
The nights always ended with the four of us silently boarding a small canoe and pushing out into the Amazon river in search of Crocodiles. In the dark, you can see their eyes glowing all the way from the other side of the river bed. As we silently approached them, rowing very slowly and quietly, we all cut our headlamps. The final approach was done in pitch black. If we were lucky, upon re-lighting the lamps you'd catch a nearby crocodile slipping into the river under the canoe.
The mornings began sitting on the boat, primitive fishing poles in hand. Again, if luck was on our side, we would catch small a Piranha, which could then be grilled up for breakfast!
We often swam in the dark and murky looking piranha and crocodile infested river. The piranha occasionally bit me, but they were too small to do any real damage. It looks and sounds scary, but feels fantastic and is the perfect way to refresh yourself from the jungle's heat!
We filled our days taking the boat down the river to various points in the jungle, and then stopping to go hiking for hours. The main objective of the hiking was to spot wild animals in their natural habitat. On this, I believe we got quite lucky.
During the three days, we saw many animals. I was lucky enough to catch a fresh water river dolphin jumping on video! Our guide really wants me to send him the video, because to see the river dolphins jump is quite rare.
As we hiked, we saw several species of monkey, lizards, frogs, tropical birds, and crocodiles in the marsh. We even saw a baby tree sloth, and we were able to get it out of the tree to take a closer look at the cute little guy!! Then later we saw a much bigger sloth high up in the tall trees. There was never a dull moment!
The most important aspect of exploring the Amazon is deciding WHERE you want to base yourself. The jungle is enormous, and there are many tours, prices and itineraries ranging anywhere from $50 to thousands. Some are quite touristy... go to traditional village, hold a snake, dance around a fire, watch a fake show put on for you by the locals. Some are really expensive with high class accommodation in parts of the jungle located closer to the city of Iquitos.
For my money, the best way to do it is to go as far and as deep into the jungle as your time and money allows and get away from the touristy crap and sleep under the stars. Go where your small group will be the only one there, and you will have a much better chance of spotting more wild animals and it will be a truly authentic experience.
That is exactly how we did it!
PACAYA SAMIRIA is the part of the jungle we chose to explore. This a special place and it is much further from Iquitos then some of the other options. It requires a long boat ride into the jungle to reach this remote place!
But once you do, you're in the protected area of the Amazon in Iquitos and the chance to spot wild-life increases ten fold!
It was a WILD Halloween for sure, and stoked I am, that now I finally got to reach the Amazon Jungle and do it proper!

Pacaya Samiria: Jungle of Mirrors
'Pacaya Samiria: Jungle of Mirrors' is my first attempt at a documentary-style video. It was inspired by my time spent volunteering as a research assistant for Operation Wallacea in 2015. All footage and photography was taken by me (almost solely using an iPhone 5) at the Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve, Peru.
I DO NOT OWN the rights to the music used in this video.

Pescar in jungla amazoniana, in Rezervatia Nationala Pacaya-Samiria, in Peru
Rezervația Națională Pacaya-Samiria este o arie protejată de aproximativ 20.000km2 de păduri ecuatoriale, dispuse la joasă altitudine în Bazinul Amazonului. Întreaga zonă este influențată de variațiile nivelului apelor, între sezonul secetos și cel ploios. Temperaturile sunt cuprinse între 200 și 330C și cea mai bună perioadă de vizitare este între Mai și Ianuarie, teoretic în sezonul secetos, dar cu schimbările climatice, nu mai poate garanta nimeni stabilitatea vremii.
Am filmat acest pescar cum curata pestii pe care i-a prins sa ii duca in sat familiei sale. Mi-a aratat diferite tipuri de pesti pe care i-a prin in acel mic afluent al fluviului Amazon
