Day 6 - Walks into the jungle in the vicinity of the Chalalan Ecolodge

The day begins with early breakfast after which we depart for a four hour walk through the jungle along one of the paths prepared by the locals. The main theme of the walk is “medicine plants”. Our guide will identify them for us and explain their uses and their processing. After the return from the walk we have a lunch and have a little rest, there is a tempting possibility of having a swim in the lagoon.

In the afternoon we depart for another 3 -4 hour walk, this time the theme is “plants used for tool and artisan production”. It is necessary to mention that we hope to spat some animals along our walks, however the chance of that is rather scanty, as the jungle is big and the animals prefer to stay out of humans way, not to mention that majority of the animals have quite amazing camouflage and thus are hard to spot unless they move.

After the return from our afternoon walk we have dinner and a rest, now the swim in the lagoon is more tempting then ever. We can again navigate out onto the lagoon to see the nightlife.

Finally we have to decide what to do the following day.
