Puerto Maldonado/ The Jungle
On the tenth, we flew from Cusco to Puerto Maldonado. Puerto Maldonado is a bit of a frontier town in the rain forest. With cars almost obsolete here, most people choose to zip around on motorcycles. There are hundreds of them. I am amazed I didnīt see a crash. Apparently seat belt and helmet laws do not exist as the entire family can be seen …

Jammer genoeg voor ons had het die voormiddag vooraleer we het eiland bezochten ontzettend hard geregend waardoor al de apen een dutje deden hoog en onzichtbaar in de bomen.
