We
spent
3N
at
Posada,
it
was
the
first
day
the
lodge
re-opened
this
year,
so
we
were
at
a
much
lower
head
count
(10ish)
compared
to
capacity
of
around
70.
Overall
an
amazing
experience
to
be
in
the
Amazon
up
close
and
personal
with
flora
and
fauna
and
animals
you
might
otherwise
only
catch
in
documentaries.
Our
guide,
Oscar,
is
from
the
local
community
and
has
worked
for
Rainforest
Expeditions
for
15+
years.
His
knowledge
has
great
breadth
and
depth,
with
special
bird
expertise.
Know
that
wildlife
sightings
are
unpredictable
so
you
can
hope
for
the
best
but
also
come
with
no
expectations.
We
got
very
lucky
with
sightings
up
close
of
the
giant
river
otters
(family
of
three),
tons
of
cool
birds,
endless
macaws,
squirrel,
howler
and
other
monkeys,
lots
of
spectacled
and
one
black
Damian,
many
cappi
barra,
tarantulas,
and
the
highlight
was
probably
the
night
walks
when
we
saw
wandering
spider,
lots
of
cool
frogs,
and
a
very
rare
4
meter
bushmaster
snake
(the
most
venomous
and
aggressive
snake
in
south
America!).
The
lodge
rooms
are
indeed
rustic
chic,
love
the
hot
showers
and
biodegradable
shower
products
great
quality.
Open
air
(no
net)
direct
to
the
forest
on
one
side,
and
also
high
but
open
wall
to
your
neighbors.
So
hopefully
you
aren't
too
shy!
And
you're
in
the
forest,
so
there
are
bugs
that
just
appear.
Definitely
being
big
spray
and
binoculars.
Meal
times
are
very
specific,
food
was
fantastic
and
fresh,
they
put
out
snacks
and
fresh
juices
in
between.
Didn't
try
the
messages
as
they
seemed
a
but
pricey.
Rainforest
expeditions
boasts
that
75%
of
proceeds
are
back
into
the
community,
it's
a
well
oiled
machine,
and
a
fantastic
way
to
experience
the
raw,
wild
abundance
of
the
Amazon
rain
forest.
