Amazon Day 4

Day 4 was mainly travelling by boat back to civilisation.

In some areas the rainforest is way above the river level.

Some black vultures.

We got up at 5.45 am for an early breakfast and trek out to the river and return boat trip to Rur.
Saw this family of six capybaras as we went downstream. Note the bird riding on the back.

They have just had a Presidential election and the candidates don’t just do hoardings but have their messages spray painted everywhere – including on the sides of rivers!

Only three hours going down stream so we got to Rurrenabaque around 10.30 am.

This is the gate at the airport!

Our plane landing at the airport. A lot bigger than the one we came in on – 50 seats compared to 19.

Then back at La Paz, we went out again to Hallwrights, which as you can see is a very nice wine and tapas bar.

This Bolivian wine was very drinkable. Keen to try and buy some more.

And the meat and cheese selection we had.

A very comfortable end to four days in the Amazon.
