The
black waters of the lodge’s private canal and
the Canal of Palms is caused by the tannins from
certain trees that grow in the area. The canal
waters flow slowly, which cause a mirror image
reflection of the lush foliage. The effect is
quite dramatic every time one rides along the
canals.
The
sights and sounds vary from day to day, along
with the time of the day. Wildlife is active
early in the morning, while a sunny afternoon is
perfect to find fresh water turtles, caimans,
and lizards sunning on logs along the banks of
the canals.
This
sloth moves so slowly that he would be hard to
spot, except that he always can be found in a
certain kind of tree. Our guides keep an eye out
for the wildlife that are not easily found in
other parts of the world. |
