Don't touch the snakes

You would think this is obvious, but one guy in our group actually woke up a sleeping anaconda. Needless to say, he was very lucky to avoid harm. While anacondas will not constrict out of defense and their bites are not venemous, the bites are extremely painful and can cause infection. It's a long way to the hospital, so don't ruin everyone's tour by doing something foolish. If you want to see the youtube click on the website link.

Women traveling alone, please be cautious

While our guide was very professional and gave us absolutely no problems, I have heard from more than a couple of people that other guides have come onto them very strongly. Exercise caution and don't let yourself be caught in an awkward situation. If you are a woman, try not to be alone with the guide.
