Today we mostly spent hiking through the rainforest. This was broken up into two main hikes: the first from the river to a Huaorani village near the airport we flew into and the second, a circuit near our lodge. Over the day we saw all sorts of amazing things including massive trees, tiny fungi, bats, birds, butterflies, frogs, insects, spiders, scorpions, and more. We even returned from our first hike to find a grasshopper the size of my fist had managed to sneak into our room.
