From Santiago we took a flight to Puerto Maldonaldo in Amazon Basin, in Peru.
We had to change our flight twice so by the time we got there we didn´t know our names...
Following the Madre Dios river from Puerto Maldonado we found the best setting to enjoy the beauty of the jungle of the southern Peru.
Corto Maltes Inn where we were staying creates relax and enjoyable atmosphere. We were spoiled by healthy and delightful dishes created by a French chef.
The bungalows are very big, comfortable and safe in terms of all jungle species.
We took few excurcions to the primary forest and the lake in the heart of the jungle where we swam.
We learned fom the guide about faune and flora of the jungle and how natives are using it to live and heal themselves.
We visited native comunity and we have been explained the way they live in the jungle in their native Quechua language.
I have also learned that there is this plant in the jungle called Ayahuasca. Native shamans during the special ceremony are using this plant to connect with the spirits of the jungle and their higher consciousness.
They drink a brew from

the bark of the sacred plant which is prepared in special way for 12 hours.
Ceremony can be conduct only by the shaman who knows how to handle this medicine called sometimes Mother Ayahuasca.
There are special workshops where people are comming to participate in that ceremony to connect with their inner wisdom and appreciate gifts from Pachamama (Mother Earth).

Z Santiago wyruszylysmy do Puerto Maldonado w dzunglii amazonskiej.
Musialysmy przesiadac sie 2 razy na inne loty wiec jak dolecialysmy, nie bardzo wiedzialysmy jak sie nazywamy.
Nad rzeka Madre de Dios 20 km od Puerto Maldonado znalazlysmy Corto Maltes Inn. To miejsce jes pelne spooju i wspanialej atmosfery.
Bylysmy rozpieszczane przez wspaniale posilki, ktore byly przygotowywane przez francuzkiego szefa kuchni.
Chaty, w ktorych mieszkalysmy byly przestronne, wygodne i bezpieczne pod wzgledem wszystkich latajaco pelzajacych zyjatek dzunglii.
Mialysmy pare wycieczek do pierwotnej lasu i nad jezioro w sercu dzunglii gdzie plywalismy, nauczylysmy sie o faunie i florze dzunglii, a takze o sposobachw jaki miejscowi ludzie wykorzystuja dzungle to zycie i leczenia siebie.
Odwiedzilismy miejscowa spolecznosc gdzie wytlumaczono nam jak zyja mieszkancy dzunglii w ich jezyku zwanym Quechua.
Wiem rowniez ze jest taka roslina w dzunglii zwana Ayahuasca. Podczas specjalnej ceremonii
