Fernando, a local guide, with Maximo, his pet toucan. Yeah, like a real live toucan like Toucan Sam or that idiotic bird from The Lion King. These things are much cooler in person, serously. Maximo is like a monkey or a puppy. He knows who his best friend is and he protects him to no end (bit me three times btw). Once he felt comfortable with the visitors though, he hopped to the ground and started jumping around noshing on fruit or whatever he could find, like my shoes....

Typical campo scenery once you get out of the city proper.



Not gonna have any shortage of bacon or other delicious pork products for a long time to come, methinks...
