Hi David,
Just wondering, were you lucky enough to see any Caimans? and will we be lucky enough to see them?

ShnakeyGirl,
I saw Spectacled Caimans along the Rio Orosa. The guides captured one but I unfortunately missed my photo opportunity. I do have shots of a captive Smooth Caiman that I will include in my final Allpahauyo Mishana post.
I think that you would enjoy the following post from Madre Selve by Christopher, an avid herper over on FHF. Follow his links and you will see hordes of interesting animals.
a 2010 post:

... another good one from 2008, includes Black Caiman:

Eitan has a great report from the same place:
Herp Trips
Young has had a couple of series of posts from two trips:

Dick Bartlett has still others on FHF. There are plenty there to keep one entertained for hours. Madre Selva in particular has received a great deal of attention due to its amazing diversity. It is one of the best and most accessible sites in the upper Amazon, hence all of the visits.
Regards,
David
