[Photo post] Peru: Pacaya-Samiria National Park

During a period of fieldwork in Pacaya-Samiria National Park, in the northern Peruvian Amazon, I spent several weeks living on a restored riverboat (the Pithecia) together with colleagues collecting data on amphibians that make their home on floating rafts of vegetation. Moored on a black-water tributary of the Samiria river during the high water season, we were surrounded by wildlife, and water, night and day.
