Its funny how the cookie crumbles. My second group were desperate to see Giant Otters yet, despite doing lots of boat trips to try to find them, they just weren't around. My last group, however, were focussed on seeing as many birds as possible and we ran into groups of Giant Otters on three occasions. They also got to see over 130 different birds in their four days here, the best of which was an adult Ornate Hawk-Eagle we got to admire along the river. Having some keen birders also gave me a good excuse to do a long trip upriver for the Hoatzin which we can't do later in the season and, consequently, I've not done in several years.
