Cayman

There are some big caymans in the lake. I did only see the small ones. When going out with a canoe in the eventing, the caymans are easy to detect using a torch, the caymans will give light up like cat eyes. Mostly they are lying near the water bank under the trees.

Bird spider

Your guide will tell you where the spider is. They seem to always appear at the same place, near their nest/hiding place.

Monkey

We were down at the colibri sugar "feeding" when two monkeys came walking above us in the trees. Distance 20-30 m I guess. Photo is taken with an ordinary compact camera. I know where one of the monkey is so I have done a circle in the picture. The left leg and his back is visible, head is hidden by some leaf(?)
Maybe you will have better luck!

Pearl hen(?)

Many of these hens were sitting in the trees near the lake. The do not fly so good as they are rather heavy.

Mosquito net

I suggest you use a mosquito net when being in bed.
At early night, there is also the bar to visit ...(Do not walk away from the lodge at night time, as there might be worms in the grass.)
