The Amazon

We went to the Amazon at the start of our trip.  There was a group of 14 of us.  We got to go on jungle walks, fishing, visit a village, cruise along the Amazon River, and so much more!  We stayed at Heliconia Lodge about an hour and a half out of Iquitos, Peru via boat.  The accommodations were great!   We had the best time!  Here are some of my favorite pictures.  


Mom feeding a monkey.


So picturesque.  


You can take the boy out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the boy.  Their vine lassos were the best!  


The leaf fans were very needed!


 Some cows shading up. 


These kids.  So dang cute! 


 Dinner time! 


 Carol killed us all in sapo!


 Giant lily pad


 Lunch.  They always made it look so pretty. 


 Some homes up on stilts.  These were right where we were getting off the boat in Iquitos.  


The little wooden chair on the bike was my favorite! 


The rooftops, the greenery, the sky.  

And here's a fun little video of parts of the trip :)
