the boat ride was long and we didn't even have 12 hours to relax in Yurimaguas before we got on a bus to Trujillo, which took 28 hours. After 3 hours of sleep, that was kind of enraging.   Either way, I regret to say that at this time I lack the patience ... Read more >

the jungle is beautiful. the light filters through the canopy during the day time and paints the trees in a golden bluish hue. the green is overwhelming and everywhere. at dusk the sounds of all the waking animals is all that is audible, as it slowly ... Read more >

The jungle lodge was beautiful, except for the mosqitos. Now, mosquitos can hardly be helped in the jungle. Cody's 98% deet did not fend them off, and they bit through two layers of clothing. I would have worn more layers but it was incredibly hot. ... Read more >

We arranged our tour of Machu Picchu through a tour operator named Yuntair (Jun-ter).   He seemed trustworthy as he was the only one to openly admit that some tour operators will have you arrive at MP with fake entry passes tickets and no return bus ... Read more >
