Burro Burro River
A rainforest river near Surama village. Drift quietly by dugout canoe in search of giant otters, caimans and kingfishers.
The Burro Burro River winds through the rainforest east of Surama village and is one of the village's most popular outings. You walk through the forest to the riverbank, then your guide paddles a dugout canoe downstream. Watch quietly for giant otters, caimans, agoutis, herons and kingfishers along the banks. If you're lucky, you may spot tapir or jaguar tracks. The trip usually takes half a day, though you can also camp by the river overnight. Bring insect repellent, and a waterproof bag to protect your camera.
