Travel Photography Photos taken by Eleniki
Our knowledgeable young guide for the week on las islas encantadas, Morris hailed from San Cristobal island
Sometimes there were up to five sealions sunbathing on anchored boats - they can jump clean from the water onto the deck
They had to be photographed to be believed - this one liked this mop
The variety and colours of the butterflies of the rainforest were staggering
These magnificently coloured parokeets made a lot of noise
Another of the lodge guides, Juan loved Jan´s binoculars
These tiny monkeys are the size of small squirrels - they have strange, ugly, leonine faces
The smallest monkey in the world
Of the many species of Kingfisher in Cuyabena, this is the biggest
We got up at dawn to watch birds on the laguna - the atmosphere was still and misty, all bird sounds amplified by the foggy water
It had beautiful markings and its eyes were huge
The snake was very frightened
The extremely sharp eyes of our guide picked it out though
This small boa constrictor was tightly wound around an overhanging branch on the river
It was the only time I used it, but I was glad I had it
We went on a night hike through the jungle, which is when a lot of interesting creatures can be seen and heard
Yep, that´s what left these unmistakeable claw marks on a tree
One of the infamous congo ants, whose sting scores 10 out of 10 on the pain gauge, and feels like a bullet wound, lasting at least 48 hours. It was almost the size of my pinkie
she was adorable, cuddling whoever picked her up, even sucking on proffered fingers, hoping to get milk from them
