A walk through the jungle should be done slowly, this is not and endurance contest or a race. If you want to see animals you stop and look around. A tree can be looked at for twenty minutes, look, I see over fifty different kinds of orchid on that tree. That is lichen, that is monkey's ladder. This is a walking palm, let me tell about it, the trees actually walk. This palm is the source of palm hearts, that is a fan palm. Look an armadillo hole. This is a tarantula hole. Behold, a sloth. Hear that? That is a toucan. See the anole? Hello? Where are you racing off to? A group of howler monkeys. Leaf cutter ants. A basilisk lizard. A green eyelash viper.
This is not a zoo, this is the wild. Take your time, look around, breathe deeply, take in the scents.
