Kipu Life Trip Day 07 -
After a wonderful day at the sacred site of Machu Picchu we took an overnight but to the lovely city of Puerto Maldonado in the Peruvian Amazon.
After meeting our guides and preparing for the journey into the deep Amazon we embarked on our boat!
We had to take a 1.5 hour motor boat ride, then hike for 2 hours, and then paddle for a little over an hour until we finally reached a wonderful little lodge nestled in the deep amazon.
There were no modern luxuries here but when you’re in the Amazon you really don’t need them. Nature provided us the bounty we required. After settling in we left on a few afternoon adventures. At one point it got so dark I thought we had lost our way back to the lodge. Our amazing guide Freddy did not let us down and before long we were back at the lodge in time for a late-night dinner.
The lodge runs on 3 hours of electricity every day. So, after the lights went out at 9pm I took advantage of the peace and serenity of the Amazon to drift off into a lovely sleep with the sounds of the jungle bustling all around me.
