Canopy Walk




150 feet above the jungle floor we climbed up this canopy walk to get to this platform. We could look down on the various trees.

This walkway is steeper than it looks and you need to use your arms to help you move along the way. Karen on her way down.






Notice the thick growth of trees and bushes.





This is looking on the way up.







We wore boots that came almost to our knees. Karen is mired in the mud
A log with fungus growing on it in the swamp.







We saw these animals along the way. The Jaguar and Tapiars.

There are hundreds and hundreds of little vendors selling their wares from clothing, dolls, purses, jewelry etc. We didn't buy anything but got a good idea of some of the things that they have.

One of many highways in Lima. This is Avenida Arequipa that runs north and south. Maybe 9-10 blocks from our apartment. During rush hour this road will be packed.

On our P-day we went to Miraflores and ate at a fantastic restaurant just above the cliff. The tall building in the background is the Marriott hotel. The name of the restaurant was Mangos. It was buffet.
