The sound of soft rain in the rainforest at dawn is bliss. The soundscape is comforting, relaxing, reassuring. It’s the perfect ambience for slowing down and immersing yourself into the jungle landscape. Birds are taking it easy today. The dawn chorus is almost non-existent, with one or two individuals calling every now and then. Occasionally a Howler monkey clears its throat half-heartedly, only to realise it’s the only mammal calling.
