Presumably the ample oil money in the area is financing the building of this bridge.

By this point in the trip constant exhaustion was a fact of life.

The Sacha lodge canopy walkway is a sturdy steel structure but it's still a little scary for people anxious about heights (like Sina):

Cabins had no windows.
The afternoon of our 16th day was spent birding on a small muddy island on the Napo river:

Lia and Martin don't look too impressed by all the mud.
Rubber boots were a must!
