Forest
Visits
- 2016-08-31: After driving several hours, we finally reached the mountain pass where Manu National Park begins... fogged in. I spent some time at a couple of the lodges in the "cultural zone" doing a few hikes around the area.
- 2016-09-01: Some hiking above the river at about 1500 meters.
- 2016-09-02: After another couple of hours in the car, we arrived at the river where we acquired our gum boots, got in a boat, and started downstream to the next lodge. Afternoon hike in the forest where we found a jaguar print on the trail.
- 2016-09-03: Went out by boat to check out a parrot lick, and then walked around in the swamp on the other side of the river for a bit.
