Into the jungle: day 2

First up: boat ride!



Our boat made of cinnamon wood.


Fairly fast moving waters... Not much to see... (I'm on a boat!)



Aside from this house, and it's 2 cows...

Jungle hike time!!


A walking palm-- it will actually move itself to get more sun, nutrients etc


Swim on through to get to an amazing hidden waterfall



Jungle- it's amazing! The hike was all through primary forest.
It was 2 1/2 hours in rubber boots, and Shaman our guide was wearing a camouflage vest... I actually lost him a few times.


One last look from the mirador (and some photos)

And then we went back into Puyo to catch the bus. Our guide -a really jolly,knowledgable, easy going guy, one of our best yet- even crammed us into his tiny hatchback with our giant backpacks and drove us to the bus station.



We fit, just barely.

Location:Near Puyo, Ecuador
