Stop number four on our trip was the Amazon Rainforest! We journeyed from Baños to just past Tena to explore.
We started at the swing at the end of the world that brought me a joy I haven’t experienced from an adventure in a long time. Joy of just being alive.
Then we entered the Amazon. We got to our river lodge to drop our bags off before jumping into a boat and going down the river to an indigenous community where we watched demonstrations, made chicha, shot blow darts and more!
We ended this day with a night hate that, transparently, I hated. But now that I’m alive with all of my limbs, I’m glad I did it.
