Estuary canoe tour

Pam/ February 26, 2013/ Travel

A Canadian couple, Fen and Ray, are also at Las Tortugas. I met Fen the first night at sunset when we chatted about not liking our “Rancho” rooms. The guide, Jonathon, was also there, drumming up business for the estuary tour. This morning I rode to the canoe entrance site with Fen and Ray. Two other couples were also on the tour. I rode in the canoe with Jonathon. We saw blue heron, parrots (they are noisy!), night heron, and a couple more I couldn’t identify. He took us to a place where we got off the canoes, walked a bit in the woods, to where the howler monkey troup hangs out. The guides bark and clap their hands and the howler monies howl back.

I didn’t see any crocodiles this trip, although Jonathon said he saw one below the water, eyes just above the water. I took some video with my camera but I can’t seem to get it to transfer to the iPad so I’ll have to wait to see it when I get home.
