We go for another hike through the jungle today with Pato to look for animals. The highlight is seeing 43 squirrel monkeys jump across the canopy right above us. We also track peccaries and while we are doing that we see a handful of tayras cross our path. Pato shows us an orange fruit on the forest floor which we collect a handful of and bring back the seeds to make jewelry out of later. The seeds are just like miniature coconuts and polish up to make beautiful dark wood rings. We end the day with a night hike to a nearby lagoon to watch lightning bugs illuminate the floating plants on the water.
