Herrroooo!!! After a horrific bus journey from Cuzco...the worst of our time in South America, we arrived in Nazca very early and a bit disoriented from lack of sleep! We were met and given a little time for a nap before being driven to the airfield. We were one of the first flights of the day and we set off at about 9am. It was a very strange experience, the plane was smaller than some cars I´ve been in and we had 2 pilots due to a crash a couple of weeks befo...

We had hired a porter to carry our main bags on the advice of 2 separate couples we´d met along our travels. We were the only ones in our group to do this and wondered if we were maybe being pathetic!We were a group of 11, all couples (apart from one man who was 57!) Rhys and I were the youngest. We...

I was slightly more nervous at the prospect of having m...

Hi everybody! We have just returned from our 3day trip into the jungle. We flew to Iquitos and caught a bus to Nauta before heading off into the jungle by boat! We arrived at our camp, it was very basic but really lovely, had a delicious lunch and then paddled off upstream to look for wildlife. Within 15 minutes we had seen lots of different birds (too many to remember all the names) and some monkeys!!! We were both overly excited about seeing the monkeys, even ...
