hey everyone, today we arrived at the jungle. the town of puerto maldonado is a quite bustling city with motorcycles going all over the place, women riding on the back of them, while their husbands are driving while they are holding their children, it is awesome to see, but at least they are wearing their helmets, haha. ... so afte we took about a 45 minute ride to the jungle, through lush forest, that you see in national geographic on a dirt road, we arrived at the eco lodge.hey everyone, today we arrived at the jungle. the town of puerto maldonado is a quite bustling city with motorcycles going all over the place, women riding on the back of them, while their husbands are driving while they are holding their children, it is awesome to see, but at least they are wearing their helmets, haha. ... so afte we took about a 45 minute ride to the jungle, through lush forest, that you see in national geographic on a dirt road, we arrived at the eco lodge....

May 26, 2008 - Amazon: Tambopata Rainforest

so this is our second day in the rain forest and let me tell you, this is probably my favorite part of our entire trip. i forgot to mention that on our first day here, in order to get to our camp, we had to take a boat ride down the tambopata river, a tributary of the amazon and it is exaclty like national geographic. ... the river is all muddy, and brown with gorgeous lush vegetation all around the banks of it.so this is our second day in the rain forest and let me tell you, this is probably my favorite part of our entire trip. i forgot to mention that on our first day here, in order to get to our camp, we had to take a boat ride down the tambopata river, a tributary of the amazon and it is exaclty like national geographic. ... the river is all muddy, and brown with gorgeous lush vegetation all around the banks of it....

After we landed in PM, our GAP guides were waiting for us.snapped some pics and marveled at the scenery before boarding a boat that would take us down the Tambopata river to the lodge. ... We also got to see a couple HUGE 300 yr old trees here! Last excursion was a night boatride in a motorizec canoe to spotlight Caimen on the shore of the Tambopata river. ... We ended up seeing 4 or 5 which was neat, we got real close to them.After we landed in PM, our GAP guides were waiting for us.snapped some pics and marveled at the scenery before boarding a boat that would take us down the Tambopata river to the lodge. ...
