Atun Cocha creek off the Samiria River in the Pacaya-Samaria Reserve, Loreto Province, Peru
In late June 2014 the area was still showing the effects of seasonal flooding. The water reached back from the creek into the jungle. Overhead, Howler monkeys swung serenading us with their mournful howls.

The Pacaya Samiria National Reserve is located in the Peruvian Amazon lowlands in the Departamento Loreto. It covers more than 20800 sq. km and is the second largest protected area of tropical lowland rainforests and wetlands in South America. Within its borders it harbors the most extensive area of wetlands in the Neotropics. 26.7% of the National Reserve is protected seasonally flooded forests , 27.2% is pure palm swamps, with 9.9% transitional wetland forests of palms and trees.
The NASA C-20a aircraft is flying UP on the right side of the page, and the UAVSAR imaging radar is looking to the left. The image swath is about 20km. This data was acquired March 17, 2013.

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!

Amazon Rainforest - One of New 7 Wonders of Nature
Amazon Rainforest One of New 7 Wonders of Nature
The Amazon rainforest (Portuguese: Floresta Amazônica or Amazônia; Spanish: Selva Amazónica, Amazonía or usually Amazonia; French: Forêt amazonienne; Dutch: Amazoneregenwoud), also known in English as Amazonia or the Amazon Jungle, is a moist broadleaf forest that covers most of the Amazon Basin of South America. This basin encompasses 7,000,000 square kilometres (2,700,000 sq mi), of which 5,500,000 square kilometres (2,100,000 sq mi) are covered by the rainforest. This region includes territory belonging to nine nations. The majority of the forest is contained within Brazil, with 60% of the rainforest, followed by Peru with 13%, Colombia with 10%, and with minor amounts in Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Guyana, Suriname and French Guiana. States or departments in four nations contain Amazonas in their names. The Amazon represents over half of the planet's remaining rainforests, and comprises the largest and most biodiverse tract of tropical rainforest in the world, with an estimated 390 billion individual trees divided into 16,000 species.
Waterfalls of San Roque Peru
Traveling to the northern Peruvian Amazon, me and a few friends ended up in Iquitos, then we went to the Pacaya Samiria Amazon Reserve for 1 week. After many adventures in beautiful virgin jungle, we traveled by boat, then bus, and ended up in San Roque, near Tarapoto Peru. San Roque is surrounded by lush hills and high jungle, and has beautiful hiking trails and waterfalls.

PETROLEUM is DESTROYING the AMAZON and EARTH
Is it a coincidence that one week before the large earthquake in Loreto, PetroTal was drilling a petroleum well nearby, three kilometers deep... These petroleum companies are altering pressure and rock formations below our feet - and destroying life on earth, as we speak. More on that later ...
First, I want you to watch this video. This man is very angry, and I want you to imagine if that was YOUR property, and that was YOUR drinking water and the land where YOU grow food.
Look at this shit ... look at what petroleum companies are doing to the most beautiful place on earth.. contaminating the water ... destroying their way of life, their water ... causing CANCER in children, women, and men, destroying health, the environment, and animals. People, this is GENOCIDE - it's the same story anywhere you look, whether in Australia, Canada, or Africa - indigenous communities and other people are suffering. This is crime against humanity. All in the name of corporate greed, economy, and profit.
Tens of thousands of barrels of oil each day - we are talking about millions of liters of petroleum being sucked out of the ground each day. There is ALWAYS leaks and problems. Where are all the waste and toxic chemicals going? Take a good guess. What do you think is going to happen to the rock formations below, with all those pressure and fluid changes?
People, we need to understand what oil extraction does - FRACKING - injecting carcinogenic chemicals kilometers deep into the ground at high pressure - dissolving rock formations below - fracturing rocks - activating faults below - these are now scientifically proven to trigger earthquakes! The amount of toxic waste that petroleum extraction produces is astounding - all of this is pumped back into the ground.
People, ALL water is connected. Underground water reserves are being contaminated by petroleum activity. These waters are what feed the natural springs that flow into rivers. We are POISONING our own WATER supply!
I'm putting a link to a video and blog article in the description. It discusses the earthquake dangers of petroleum extraction. It also discusses how the rare earthquake in Loreto was caused by petroleum activity in the region, and people can expect to see more if this madness does not cease.
May the Creator protect you all, destroy all evil on this earth and bless our land with goodness and purity.
