We headed out on a 12 seater plane ... that it turned out we had all to ourselves as the rest of the group we were going with decided to take the bus/river boat instead. Our own private jet !! It was quite a bumpy journey as the plane was so small ... even had to put on oxygen masks at one stage ... but apparently that happens all the time ...!?!
The accomdation was pretty basic, but it was a great tour ... saw lots of monkeys, mackaws, parrots, tapir ... alot of insects ... there was a Tarantula on the wall of the lodge on the last night ... nice ... probably time to leave at point !
We also met some of the indigenous tribes ... which was amazing. They are still hunter/gathering people living in the jungle. They are quite afraid of some of the white people since they were enslaved by Fitzcarldo during the rubber boom. But some of them sell handicrafts, which we bought.
Here are some pictures from the week
