To start off our expedition into the Amazon, we first take a two hour truck ride into the middle of no where. We were already surrounded by dense forests and to our side was the Shiripuno River.
We then got on this metal canoe which pushed us four hours deeper into the jungle. On the way to our camp we found turtles, amazing birds, caiman and so much more. Finally when we made it to our camp we realized that we were the only living human for miles around.
When the sun came out, it didn't mess around in the jungle. We did what we could to block the sun with our awesome ninja looking buffs.
Gorgeous ride out on the canoe during the evening to go bird watching and soaking in the incredible sounds of the forest.
You would think that the country that produces the worlds best coffee would have the stuff everywhere! But they don't. Almost every restaurant that we went to had some terrible Nescafé. So, when I found this bag of freshly ground coffee in a market, I didn't wait a second to buy it and promptly make myself a cup each morning for the following week.
These Kaypok trees are amazing! They are scattered throughout the amazon, showing off their huge buttresses. This is a small one compared to the giant we found at the end.
Happy little caiman chillin on a log as we rode up to a trailhead into the forest.
Just to give you an idea how dense the jungle was that we were traveling through.
Our camp which was located in the middle of nowhere! Surrounded by Forrest on all sides gave us an amazing sense of isolation in the wilderness.
Max and I decided to get a little dirty and have ourselves a mud bath/fight.
The amazing macaw of the amazon. We saw about 20 of these guys throughout our trip! Good to know that this part of the amazon is still so intact.
Here's a shot that shows you just how massive these Kaypok trees are that I was talking about earlier. Just looking at this picture can't make you feel the massiveness of these trees.
¡Hasta próxima vez! #coopedAbroad
