Peru (part 3: the jungle)

Wednesday, November 10th, 2010

From the second half of day 2 onward we were walking through the lush jungles of Peru. They were full of beautiful and unique plants, flowers, birds and fruits including passionfruit, avocado and banana. Image below of me eating a fresh passionfruit and boy was it delicious and refreshing. Scattered throughout the journey there were plenty of little stands run by the locals where you could purchase bottled water and other goodies. And while I thought this took away from the hike, I’m sure it’s a good source of income for these people that live so far removed from the city. Tomorrow will be dedicated to the final part of the hike Machu Picchu.
