We flew from Lima to Puerto Maldonado taking 2hrs. With a stop over in Cusco. Then a boat ride to our jungle lodge - only taking enough gear for the days there. The boat took 20 people.
Had a fabulous lunch then took off for a 5km hike in the heat. 33 degrees with 100% humidity. Kevin just about melted. He dived into the pool on our arrival back at the lodge & so did I .
An early start to beat the heat the next day - but it was raining & had been throughout the night with thunder & lightening.
So off we went in all our rainwear a hike of 5 kms to see the Lost Lagoon & any animals on the way.
There is such incredible biodiversity here.
Back for a scrumptious lunch and rest. Then up & off to Monkey Island to see the sights & sounds. There were several different kinds of monkeys there. They came down & took fruit from the tourists hands. Then our canoe ride back to our lodge and a relax in the hammocks and a soak up all the vibrant sights and sounds in the jungle.
A 3course dinner to end our stay as we were leaving in the morning and our farewells to people who were going in a different direction.
Next day up at 5.30am as we went back up the Amazon River to the port. - 1 1/2 hrs and then on to the airport for our flight back to Cusco. We arrived mid afternoon and had the rest of the day to enjoy there. By for now.
