Before leaving the rain forest we stopped by the Butterfly Farm for a quick visit. The lodge provided transportation back up the river to the port and on to the airport. We were on flight 72 from Puerto Maldonado back to Lima with a stop in Cusco. Then we had a long layover in Lima and left on an 11:30 p.m. flight to Houston. We arrived home before noon.






Amazing trip all in all. My favorite things:
