Welcome to the Jungle...








After Ecuador I had the opportunity to go to the Yachana Lodge in the Amazon! It was such a cool experience! We flew to Cokee in an airplane that was really small! We then took a jungle truck to the Napo river. While we were waiting for our canoe/boat I started feeding some monkeys and they jumped right on my shoulder! We got to go on many hikes through the jungle and saw many different Jungle animals!! Bats, tarantulas, the harpy eagle, dwarf camens, HUGE spiders, bats, hawks...etc. We also got to FLOAT DOWN THE RIVER! We were just floating with the paranas and anacondas...no big deal :) We went to the medicine man and got cleansed with tobacco and learned how to throw spears and shoot blow guns. The whole experience was the coolest thing I have ever been able to do!
