Swim with the pink dolphins (PERU)

The amazon basin is famous with it’s pink dolphins

Pink Dolphins... Sounds more like the name of a toy in “Toys r US” Shop! But no. They are for real. And surprisingly these friendly, sensitive, mammals has a brain capacity 40% larger than that of humans. They are 2.5 to 3 meters (8.25 ft to 9.75 ft) and 90 kilograms (200 lbs.) and males are generally larger.

Why pink?

The reasons for the unique coloration are poorly understood, but the presence of capillaries near the surface of the skin probably accounts for much of its characteristic pink flush. Other factors may include age of the animal, chemical disposition of the water (especially iron content), and the temperature of the water.

Given that these animals are threatened with extinction in certain tributaries, we do not actively seek or encourage overtly "friendly" contact with the Amazon River dolphins. Their chances of survival are greatly enhanced if they remain suspicious of human beings and maintain a certain distance. That ‘s why we were careful to let them apprach to us rather than approaching them. But the locals such as fisherman Guillermo, have a different approach. One of the stories and legends you will hear very often in the amazon basin is the love story lived between the fisherman in this area and the pink dolphins!...uhhmm...WHAT!!!
