Was leuk om een wandeling te maken door stukje amazone en kennis te nemen van het programma om Manatees te redden. Verder vond ik het witte zand stukje jungle leuk om te zien.

Hermoso lugar y ver que los animales rescatados se encuentran en recuperación.
El guía fue bueno. Nos contó la historia de los animales y las plantas que manejan.

El trabajo de conservacion y educacion es gigante, felicitaciones! Preciosas esculturas y senderos. Muy poco tiempo para ver a los animales. Sólo sugiero poder recorrerlo mas lento, sentimos que corriamos para seguir a los guías. Además decía que cerraba a las 6pm pero cuando terminamos el recorrido a las 4pm no había nadie para comprar souveniers. Quería comprarlos ahí para ayudar a la organizacion, y habían muy pocas cosaa y sin nadie que nos los vendiera
