Really good photos, I had a really bad trip to the Colombian Amazon in 2005 and these photos have changed my mind about going there again.

Thanks everyone, most appreciated!

Davholla - Sorry to hear your experience wasn't good. Mine was marred by equipment failures and ill health, but there's undoubtedly an abundance of interesting species if you take the time (especially at night).

Sadly (and I didn't find out until too late) I booked a tour where you barely ever went out at night. I will try again next time I go.
Colombia is a lovely country but you have to be careful because some wildlife experiences can be a bit rubbish.
We went to Gorgona Island once and we were not allowed to walk around at night which was an awful shock.
