From Quito, Ecuador we flew 30 minutes to Coca, a small city on outskirts of the Ecuadorian Amazon. From there, we took a two hour motor boat ride, a 1 mile walk, and then a 30 minute canoe ride to our jungle accommodations
Before heading out on our two hour motor boat ride to our accommodations, we stopped in the local jungle pharmacy market. We tried various products related to energy drinks, pain, medicine, etc.
Open air dining market, where all the kitchens pretty much look the same, noticed the grubs on a skewer, a local delicacy

We saw this butterfly that has beautiful blue effervescent, open wings. It was so fast. I never got a picture of it flying that was clear, but I’ll post one of my efforts below.
About an 8 foot Cayman
Had to take long hikes, sometimes through the mud, to get to where we were going
Added at least 20 new birds to my life list, here’s a sample
The snail was about the size of my hand
It was pretty dark under the canopy so this picture is not very good but I thought the four night monkeys were pretty cute
The guy in the foreground was screaming that he wanted the fish
He stole it, and then the other guy was screaming to get it back
