Amazon Jungle Overnight Camp

From the lodge, we left for a one hour hike into the jungle with our small packs, some group gear and food and some hammocks. The jungle is generally flat so the going was really easy. The camp was located next to a small creek that we used for a water source for our stew dinner. The shelter was a simple wood structure with a blue tarp for covering. Our guide first had us put up our hammocks but then quickly got us to work hauling firewood from a nearby area where there were several downed trees. He then made the fire and got dinner going. Then he had us carve our own wooden spoons to eat with as well as make a plate out of large leafs. We got done with dinner just in time before a big rainstorm. From 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. it rained hard. The tarp had a few holes so some moving around had to be done but overall, the night wasn't too bad considering just how wet it was. By some miracle, the rain stopped just before breakfast. We set off further into the jungle to look for wildlife and view the unique forest trees. We did find some monkeys but they were pretty far away. Eventually, we found our way back to camp, packed up and returned to the lodge.
