Amazonian Waterfall

Today we took a fantastic exploration through the Amazonian jungle to a secluded waterfall.

To begin the journey we had to load up in a van and drive about 45 minutes through the town of Tarapoto and beyond. The drive went smoothly, just one small stop at a militia shack where we had to pay a nuevo sole in order to pass. When we got to our final hiking destination we unloaded and began our hour long journey through the Amazonian jungle. We traveled up hills, across rivers, and through grasses.

Almost got bitten by a pretty intense looking ant but luckily it latched onto my shoe rather than my foot, it still took a good five minutes to pry off though! The terrain was steep but the scenery was like nothing I had seen before. As the picture show rshough, it was definitely worth every step.
