The Pantanal alarm clocks awake everyone around 5:30 am. The raucous and slightly crazy Curicaca scurries about the grounds and trees screaming and screeching to start a new day.
Some consider their sounds as singing, most think they are just screaming out its name over and over. They will not be ignored!
I met a wonderful Danish couple, Ingrid and Gunner, while cruising the Rio Negro. Second day here in Pantanal, I did a double take as they were sitting at the table next to me. We arranged to meet at our next destination. Their email informs me they have already seen 3 jaguars there. BIG OKAY! I leave after breakfast for Porto Jofre.
