The best month of my life

Definitely the best month of my life. There were so many moments that were just surreal, it just felt as if we had wandered into a nature documentary, like when we found ourselves stroking a baby caiman while knee deep in a river or blowing on butterflies to determine their gender.

Thank you for making my trip fulfilled to the max

I have been home a few days now, & missing the sounds of the jungle that lulled me to sleep. So much to see & learn. A big thank you to all the staff, researchers & volunteers at the centre for making my trip of a life-time fulfilled to the max!
