I couldn't convince the others to start before 6.30 although it is well known that the earlier the better chances of spotting wildlife. I guess they were tired of the rainforest, now that we were nolonger in Manu, they might have been looking forward to go back to Cuzco.

We took a long hike, some 3 hours, but didn't se any wildlife at all. We were back at 10, still some 3 hours before lunch. After lunch we went half an hour upstream to a warm spring where we could relax for about an hour. Then it would be another couple of hours back at the lodge before dinner.

It's always nice to end a tour with hot springs, but somewhat disappointing. I had expected more adventure, lacking that at least to learn a lot, getting things well explained. But our guide, while good at spotting wildlife, and certainly knew the area well, I found he lacked knowledge.
