Subject: Post: Well, it looks like our car was not so lucky to survive with just a minor plastic reattachment. We drove to the nearby bigger town Tena in the evening and visited a local car repair shop, who immediately noticed there was no pressure in the cooling system left. So, it's also leaking somewhere so it will take a bit more effort to fix. The car is insured though so that shouldn't be a huge problem. We called the rental company and after some mess of a discussion with them and the repair company in half-spanish they will send a roadside assistance and new car tomorrow in case it's needed. The broken one is now in a safe place, under night guard's eyes on the yard of a repair company that obviously repairs all the police cars of the area.Earlier during the day we did a tour down the river with a motorboat and a local guide. Seems like this tour was also a good selection, the guide was definitely not in hurry to anywhere and seemed to also have some genuine interest and knowledge in nature. We learned a bit of the local gold digging tradition and ceramics and hiked for some hours in the dense, wet jungle. No big animals, but a lot of insects, birds and flora.
