Amazon Day 4

Latin0343

Day 4 was mainly travelling by boat back to civilisation.

In some areas the rainforest is way above the river level.

Latin0346

Some black vultures.

Latin0342

We got up at 5.45 am for an early breakfast and trek out to the river and return boat trip to Rur.
Saw family of six capybaras as we went downstream. Note the riding on the back.

Latin0344

They have just had a Presidential election and the candidates don't just do but have their messages spray painted everywhere – including on the sides of rivers!

Latin0340

Only three hours going down stream so we got to Rurrenabaque around 10.30 am.

Latin0341

This is the gate at the airport!

Latin0345

Our plane landing at the airport. A lot bigger than the one we came in on – 50 seats compared to 19.

Latin0347

Then back at La Paz, we went out again to Hallwrights, which as you can see is a very nice wine and tapas bar.

Latin0348

This Bolivian wine was very drinkable. Keen to try and buy some more.

Latin0349

And the meat and cheese selection we had.

A very comfortable end to four days in the Amazon.
