Pampas Tour

The plan for Rurre was going on a Pampas Tour and afterwards into the Jungle.
After reading lots of reviews on Tripadvisor about Pampas tours, we were exactly at the same level of information as before.
It doesn't really matter which company you choose, because you can end up with the same guide at nearly every company. After having a really bad explaination at Jaguar Tours (he couldn't even explain why they are eco-certified or what exactly is part of the tour) and a really good one at Bala Tours which sadly was too expensive for us we ended up booking with Mogli together with three young british girls.
After a 3 hours car ride to the harbour where all the tours leave, Fernando, the mexican, picked us up with his boat.
We had another 3 hours ride to our home for the next night. We already saw some aligators, monkeys and lots of birds. 





We shared the accomodation with some other groups (about 4 more boats) and because there were only three tables we had to wait for our Breakfast/Lunch/Dinner untill one group had finished. But since we were only five people on the boat and not as all the others about eight we had lots of food because we got the same amount as any other group! And the food was good!
In the evening we went to a "Bar" in the Pampas by boat where all the groups meet, you can play football or volleyball while beeing eaten alive by mosquitos.
After having an expenisive beer we moved on for some aligator spotting at night. We saw quite a lot and also lots of fireflys. The evening ended with lots of toads at the camp and for me with a book in the hammock.



Since we booked only a two day trip we started our last days with a trip to the pink dolphins, where again most of the groups were. So it was pretty full and people jumped in the water while screaming out loudly... I tried to get away from the crowd and after beeing touched by several dolphins at my feet I got back in the boat.



We went back to the camp, had lunch and a shower and then started our way back to the little harbour followed by some dolphins.
In the end it was nice to see all the animals but next time I would pay more and go with Bala Tours (they go some where else) or Mashaquipe...
