The park authorities determine the time of our visit to Cocha (Lake) Salvador; depending on this schedule, we will visit Cocha Otorongo earlier or later in the day. To get to Cocha Otorongo we will board our boat for 30 minutes. We may see a family of capybaras, the world’s largest rodent, browsing on the river bank, or if we are very lucky, a lone jaguar may slowly advance from an open beach into the forest, tail wagging in annoyance at our intrusion. On the short walk to the lake, which is about 20 minutes, there is an excellent chance of encountering one or more of the park’s 13 species of monkeys leaping through the canopy overhead. These are horseshoe lakes, formed when the river changed course, leaving behind a landlocked channel to the sea. The lakes are abundant with fish and wildlife, and provide optimal habitat for caimans and the giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis), one of the most endangered mammal species in the Amazon. This lake enjoys maximum protection, we have a good chance to see the resident family of Giant Otters as they dive for the 4Kg. of fish especially piranhas that each individual consumes daily. Cocha Salvador is the largest of the area’s lakes, with a length of 3.5 km, or approximately two miles long. It is also home to a family of giant otters. We cruise the lake on a floating catamaran platform, which offers excellent new perspectives of lake and forest. The lakeside trees are often alive with monkeys; macaws, a variety of herons and egrets explore the water’s edge; and reptilian eyes and caiman snouts.
