This area of the Amazon basin, one of the most biologically diverse places on Earth, is under major threat from our need for its resources: logging, mining, ranching - even tourism - are all taking their toll.
While the forests ar rich in wildlife, most species are quite secretive and few and far between. So sufficient time and a knowledgeable guide are needed to see some of the extraordinary creatures that live here.
On this journey we were fortunate to see 109 types of birds, nine mammals and dozens of bugs and butterflies.
