A few pictures from a recent trip to Peru, from the jungle to the hills (gallery)
Balsapuerto, a small village in the Amazon
Welcome to the mayor’s office
In the middle of a hot day
Amerika, who spoke Spanish rather fast
The main and almost only street in Balsapuerto
Miguelita with some of her kids, plus some more who joined in for the pic
Cocoa beans
Waiting for Mauricio..
.. and playing around with two of his kids in the meantime
Edegar and Raise
Chilling in the fireplace
Mauricio the curandero..
.. and his wife Resurrección
In the jungle
Going shopping
Teresa, our lovely host
Waiting for a ride to Yurimaguas
This poor guy got my lunch
Finally on the truck, about ten minutes before it was fully loaded with green bananas
In the streets of Yurimaguas
Tarapoto aka landing in the fields
I have one of these on my table now, thank you
The all-important coca
Beautiful Chavín
Say cheese 🙂
That’s the highest we’ve stayed, almost 3 200 m
Ladies chatting
Still in Chavín
On a market
Temples, plazas and mazes of the ancient Chavín civilisation, now under UNESCO protection
A small replica of Lanzon, the main deity of Chavín culture
A lady selling fermented corn lemonade
They are all around
I bought a great snack here..
.. and met this lady on the way back
Entonces, hasta luego! : )
