Peru (Manu)

Paucartambo enroute to the jungle of Manu

interesting plaza
and old stone bridge
riverside shacks
the road drops into the jungle
the first waterfall
of over 30 meters


across the road
papaya

lakes and butterflies

The Manu Lodge halfway

a hundred species of fern

and finally the mountains fall behind
the enemy
the rivers grow big
Atalaya - the end of 'the road'
Waiting for a boat that will never be
a guide for couple japanese shows me the way
encouraging me to ride the rocks to Shituya
slash and burn
The never-ending local boat through the Amazon to Manu



Camped out in Boca Manu
where i build for the local boat builders a model hovercraft
the boat caravan to Colorado
Colorado
a dodgy riverside town
with a bandit feel

its where the road to Puno is




endless mud
a river takes over the 'road'


San Gaban
business as usual


the final waterfalls on my climb out

back into the altitude
