S on the end to our tour of northern South America, we decided after 3 days of river rafting, mount


S on the end to our tour of northern South America, we decided after 3 days of river rafting, mountain bike tours and waterfall bathing in town Baños, book a 4-day trip into the Amazon jungle. Our plan was originally to sail on the amazon river over 7-8 days into town Leticia, which is Colombia's southernmost town in the heart of the jungle oreo games cut off from the rest of the world. On the trip we will be guided by a local that will lead us between small villages from day to day, and show us how the primitive has and in a few cases still live in the jungle. The circumstances would, however, prove to be somewhat more complicated than we could manage. To get an English speaking guide was virtually impossible, the various sailing boats' departures when the load is full, then the risk of having to wait 3-4 days up to 2 weeks at a small village was present, and enough that we nicely declined and had started planning an alternative. In Baños bunede it stores all of whom were eager to sell us various extreme sports activities, here we could easily oreo games have bought us poor, but it was also keen on going on a trip into the jungle before work started on the next chapter " Colombia oreo games '. Two days after we sat, with close outings, a 1.5 meter wide and 8 feet long canoe on their way deep into the jungle. We had before oreo games been presented to our two guides who were both born and raised in their own village in the jungle. They would later prove to be some quite entertaining guys and one of the guides we were pretty quickly agreed that we baptized Simon in July, when the comparison was quite extreme. Along for the ride was also a Slovakian girl, a Belgian couples, one American and last but not least an elderly German gay couple who seem to Oliver and I were two incredibly entertaining Danish guys but a bit too loud after 8-9 beers. A few hours later, we arrived at our lodge / camp. The cottages were built in bamboo and palm leaves oreo games on stilts and the whole area was at night lit only by candles. Primitive but just as we had imagined.
V was greeted by a small staff who had prepared delicious lunch for us, and Simon Jul presented the next three-day program for us. Common to all day was to transport to the different places oreo games we should experience was with our canoe, which we ended up almost being pleased. The first day we sailed along the river and our guide showed off his skills quickly to spot all sorts of birds and animals in the trees, long time before we had cast our eyes in that direction. The monkeys jumping around in the trees, staring at us, and jumped so on. Unfortunately, most so high that it was incredibly difficult to reach them with our camera. After hours of flux along the river phase it out and our guide shouted the words "Lago Grande". A huge lake, perfectly still and mirror appeared.
F against other teams in their canoe was also on the lake, and it ended up being routine to meet at the lake to sunset every evening during our stay. In a passing canoe waved a local guide with arms and legs, shouted oreo games something in Spanish and pointed us in the opposite direction. Our guide was formulated that either there was a giant anaconda in a tree farther down the lake, or we simply had been fooled by the other guide, something that was not a rare case among the guides. But it was true. In a tree sticking out of the water, was a big fat anaconda and relaxed. oreo games Even our guide was impressed and estimated it to be about 8 feet long. We sailed slowly past it, so close that they had been foolhardy enough oreo games could have run your hands over it.
V sailed back so other canoes could get to, and in the middle of the lake was the engine oreo games stopped - now it was time for a swim! It required, however, just a few minutes of reflection and her husband to jump in the dark water, where we have two minutes before had been proven that an 8 meter long anaconda also swam around. But a quick dip was the Wizards oreo games jumped funnily enough no, it was a tusristting said with a smile. After a beautiful and fascinating sunset we were fine guests - mosquitoes, many mosquitoes. Luckily we had learned from our Tikal-trek that you should oreo games never run out of mosquito repellent when you are in the jungle, so we had acquired us a proper thump of the strongest stuff, and amazingly enough oreo games we got not a single mosquito repellent some of the days, despite mosquito talstærke attendance. Back to our camp, good food and good company, and so to bed. The day after our trip was delayed a few hours when the rain faldte loud and long, but the name would not rain for nothing. We sailed out on the river again, and monkeys and sloths slængede in the trees. We sailed into the densely wide where we made great poncho was set by Simon in July led us around the jungle where he convincingly told about the different trees and insects and about how in the past have used plants as medicines for fever, snakebite ,
