Stories From the Amazon - Giant Kapok Tree

One of the amazing aspects of our jungle adventure is the ability to winch up into one of giant Kapok trees. These trees are amazing - but what is more amazing is watching the Amazon Natives climb these trees. One of our guides, Bartolo, scales 170 feet into this tree without ropes in under 4 minutes;



Of course the view from the top is pretty amazing (I took a much easier route after Bartolo set the ropes).



From this spot I could see a Caiman in the little lagoon. We all took turns up in the tree, it was pretty amazing. For more cool footage see www.ecoplanetadventure.com
