first days in jungle

Arrived in lodge yesterday morning and numerous exellent experiences since. Went fishing today and cought 3 piranhas plus encountered a boa constrictor on the path but luckily appeared quite docile. Forest is absolutely terrifying but amazing, poison arrow frogs galore and more ants you care to encounter especially the bullit ants which are very active and very large and quick. Went for night walk and saw caymans, tree spiders and very, very large frogs. The temp quite high when no rain and extremely humid. Been in contact with some of local tribes, the Yagua, very pleasant and not too touristy. I will stay here for another night and then move on much deeper into the jungle, about 100miles, and possibly camp out for 1-2 nights. Not actually shure if the right thing to do, but comfy when a good guide around. Amazon river is truly magic and wild, sheer size incomprehensible and so are the distances. 5 weeks is not enough to even get idea. Closest nat. reserve worth visiting is 300km away and just no time to get there. Time in Peru, as in Brazil, is a different reality and already have to start thingking about return closer to Manaus.
