Puerto Maldonado - Jungle - March 17-21 2001


We arrived from the airport and went directly to the Anaconda Lodge and Thai Restaurant. We stayed in these bungalows. It said it was air conditioned. That meant we had a fan. They were very nice.





Our bungalow had a loft above with three more beds.




Karen layed down in the hammock and fell asleep for a couple of hours.





Donald told us that the spiders come out at night and he knew where this nest was. On our walk we saw over a gazillion stars. Something we don't see in Lima.




At the lodge were all these baby monkey that loved us and we loved them.






They all wanted to check us out






Pedra and I became instant friends.
Unfortunately she became lost as she followed us to our bungalow and didn't know how to get back to the lodge.





This is Pedra telling me her troubles.

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.
