My Side of the Mesa

Puerto Maldonado

It’s the jungle! Sorry for the delay. It’s just that nothing seems all that newsworthy after Machu Picchu! But here you go.

The jungle was very cool. So many plant, animals, butterflies, and such. We stayed a while at a place with an amazing view of the river and a large hiking area. Then we moved to another place with a pool. We also had an adventure here and there. In no particular order:

Claudia let her small humans give her a makeover. (She even got her nails painted!)
Orange butterfly.
Sunset over the Madre de Dios
Jungle trail.
Brazil nut tree being dramatic.
Jungle road.
So many really cool trees in the jungle.
Another cool tree.
Butterfly on the bench of our canoe.
Lake Sandoval.
Hidden pictures. Hint: There’s a monkey in there.

Black and yellow butterfly.
Orange and brown butterfly.
The hollow space in this tree is from the tree this tree ate.
A walking tree. Should probably run from the other trees.
This huge cool tree.
Black orange white butterfly.
Black blue butterfly. The butterflies are so friendly here.
This helps with the bazillion degree weather.
Everything is so green!

Goodbye Puerto Maldonado
If you’ve ever wondered what a sunset looks like from above, this is it.
