Next stop...the Amazon Jungle!

Today is the start of my tour, our first stop....the Amazon Jungle! We took a 30 minute flight to the town of Coca. From there, it was a 10 minute ride to the launching spot to begin the next phase of our journey. We took a motorized canoe 2 1/2 hours (60 miles) up the Napo River which eventually empties into the Amazon. We then walked for 15 minutes on a board walk that was built about 4 feet high and about 3 feet wide. I was happy to not be walking in the mud but can only imagine how long it took them to build it. We then got into dugout canoes for the final 20 minute ride through the lagoon to our lodgings for the next 3 nights, La Selva Jungle Lodge. To be continued.....
