For me, travel isn't just about the journey...it's about the passion it evokes deep inside of me. Case in point...I now have an infectious strain of Jungle Love. I feel so alive here in the Amazon, even if the air is stagnant and heavy. While we march along single file on a jagged trail cut through dense underbrush, tramping down the crunchy debris as we go, the sounds of the jungle lul... Read Full Entry

This Canadian girl has been blessed with 44 fabulous years so far. My passion for travel comes from two very adventurous parents...my brother and I spent most of our youth traveling all over North America in the family campervan, airplane & boat - going as far north as Tuktoyaktuk on the Arctic Sea...and as far south as Mexico and beyond...doing lots of adventury stuff: canoeing, surfing, fishing, camping, hiking, skiing, exploring, and jellyfish poking...it was the best childhood ever.
Nowadays, most of my vacay-time is spent in and around "Los Cabos" on the tip of beautiful Baja Califor... full info

howlers
their calls are like being at an airshow.
stink birds
not kidding, that is what these things were called. I'm sure they have an official name but they lived up to their nickname just fine.
Trees of Amazon
Gigantic Iron wood trees are very important to the locals for many reasons
Rivers Edge
Lots of tall grasses hide you quickly from the rivers edge
landing in the Amazon
a birds eye view of the jungle and chocolate river
cabybara family
families of the giant rodent all looking for munchable grass by the rivers edge
Walkway to the taxis
this area is usually covered over in water during the wet season.
Big boat on the bayou
rowing the oar on this boat was hard, the oar was water soaked and weighed a ton
37 meters up
High up some scaffolding we got a view from the canopy
river travels
the people of the river doing their day to day stuff
Creepy Crawlies
lots of spiders and other stuff crawling the jungle floor at night
tambopata river pickup
water taxis are the way to get around even in the dry season
Got one!
cheeky little buggers
our hut
a little luxury in the middle of nowhere
deer we think
wasn't too sure what this thing was, but it looked like a deer
flowers on the oxbow
misty steamy oxbow lakes
lovely daturas
love the colours of the datura in the jungle.
Out on a limb
the branch of a gigantic brazil nut tree, round pods clinging
Banana Cage
Loved this banana cage to keep out fruit flies, bats, and monkeys.
Extremely Wet Airport
Puerto Mal. before the storm of the century pounds down - we end up waiting 6 hours for it to clear

almost .... almost
Andrea, your blogs never fail to entertain me. I almost "heard" the sounds judging by the pictures you posted, helped along by your detailed descriptions. And hey, that pair of busy frogs (for soup?) made my day ;-)

funny...less than and hour ago was talking to a friend of mine. He was asking me why exactly do I like to travel so much...what keeps me going - the first sentence that u wrote is exactly the same as mine was "For me, travel isn't just about the journey it's about the passion it evokes deep inside of me." Keep having a passion life :) Jana

año = year; ano = anus In that particular case, the omission of the tilde on the 'n' can lead to funny misunderstandings. So 'cumpleanos' means 'achieve/fulfill anuses'. On Spanish keyboards, there's a separate key for the 'ñ', but if you can't find it, you can write 'ny' to be on par with the pronunciation, at least. To make matters even more complicated, in Portuguese 'ano' indeed means 'year'. You should keep that in mind in case you hop over to Brazil. If you already knew all of this, ignore my comment :-)

Anos verses años!
Gracias for the laugh! Although I am aware of the discrepancy and like you guessed, do not have an ñ on my keyboard..read: I'm too lazy to go looking for one...I figure it kinda makes for a more interesting read, right? lol

Loved the Amazon!
Thanks Merry Jo! If I were able to drop everything and go somewhere right now, I would pick the Amazon. I can't stress how fantastic it was. I will go back someday for sure - but maybe the Brasil side, meander up in a paddleboat to see the pink dolphins. Cheers!
