Day 11: Ruta Nacional Secundaria 138 and Las Cubas

Home Biota: what is it? Animals Plants Mammals Birds Insects NL EN

Our hotel is special again. The rooms are super simple and old, the lights are crooked, but the shower works well. The restaurant is new, with matching prices and fancy meals for fancy prices. The staff is not yet, so we only eat there once.

But anyway, we were there for boat trips. The morning was great again: the same good guide, the sun was shining and he saw a lot.

In the afternoon it rains heavily and that seems to affect the guide quite a bit. He only saw bigger stuff like herons and spoonbills. Too bad.
