The Amazon…
Took a scary boat down the crocodile and piranha infested river to a "lodge" that was exquisite with no walls or windows but our own bathrooms with showers, mosquito netting, rare power and candles. LOTS of heat and bugs… saw tarantula, sloth and walked up the canopy tower the first day. The second day went on a Peruvian catamaran (see pix of the guy on the platform boat), fished for piranha, hiked, rode around a lake, saw monkeys, birds etc. We also went to a
medicinal gardens and met a shaman which was cool and then went on a wild night hike to see lots o weird bugs. Got woken up listening to howler monkeys that sounded like dinosaurs… I really liked the experience but I am a mountain woman and like cold better! See below for some comments that I made from Peru re this part of the trip.
"Hi everyone. Just got back from the Amazon and it was wild... HOT HOT HOT... saw lots of animals on many hikes including night hikes. Animals included tarantulas (yuck), piranhas, tree frogs, possum, hawks, beautiful birds, monkeys etc etc etc... stayed in an AWESOME place in the jungle with no walls or windows and a cold shower never felt so good."
