    🇬🇧 The naturalist guide in the field: The enchanted Pink-river dolphins

    Visitors to Uakari Lodge are always impressed by the amount of dolphins that can be seen at Mamirauá Reserve! This series would be incomplete if we didn’t talk about one of the most iconic animals in the Amazon: the famous pink dolphin! Yes, it is possible (and even frequent 😃 ), to see them during the boat trips from Uakari Lodge, the breath of air announces the presence of these giants: these animals weigh between 150 and 200 kg and on average 2 meters long! The pink dolph

    🇬🇧 The Naturalist Guide in the Field: Arapaima – the big fish and its wonderful peculiaritie

    The Arapaima is the largest freshwater scales fish in the world, reaching 3 meters in length and weighing 200 kg In Portuguese, the name of the fish is Pirarucu: for indigenous native speakers of Tupi pira it means fish (as in piranha, pirarara, piracatinga) and urucu is red (like in urucum, a typical red seed across Brazil) and, therefore, this is the origin of the popular name of our Amazonian character today: Pirarucu, a fish that presents red bands on their scales.

    🇬🇧 The naturalist guide in the field: The colourful and ingenious Woodpeckers

    There are are 59 species of woodpeckers in Brazil, 11 of which are at Mamirauá Reserve. Spot-breasted woodpecker (Colaptes punctigula) Eternalized by the cartoon, the woodpeckers (Picidae family) are really colorful birds and why not, ingenious. After all, it takes ingenuity to hit the tree trunk 22 times a second and leave without physical injuries, not even a little headache. The structure of the skull of a woodpecker is truly extraordinary, serving as a model for the devel

    🇬🇧 The Naturalist Guide in the field: Hoatzin – a prehistoric bird among us

    One of the most seen birds at Mamirauá Reserve, hoatzins have fingers with claws on their wings as young and have digestion similar to oxen! Hoatzins (Opisthocomus hoazin) are among the birds with the most striking appearance among the 377 species that occur at Mamirauá Reserve. Some local guides say these animals have got this popular name because they appear to wear blue makeup around their eyes. For me, these animals have a more “rock star” vibe with these long, erect feat

    🇬🇧 The Naturalist Guide in the Field: the lovable (and slow) sloths

    This is one of those animals that visitors at Uakari Lodge always ask if it is easy to spot. The answer is: yes, thanks to our local guides The three-toed Sloth (Bradypus variegatus) is one of those animals that almost all tourists who come to the inn know that occurs in the area and always ask if it is easy to see. In fact, the animal is not uncommon, the challenge is to find it among the fig trees (Ficus spp.) And cepropias (Cecropia spp.) Since its camouflage is really ver

    🇬🇧 The scary (but absolutely harmless) red howler monkey at Mamirauá Reserve

    Uakari Lodge started a participative primate monitoring on trails – and visitors now actively collaborate to science and conservation at Mamirauá Reserve. Some days ago we have published, on Facebook and Instagram, the image above. it shows the red howler monkeys screaming, as they usually do.
