I spent a couple of weeks in a jungle town in bolivia and did a couple of expeditions, one to the pampas (wetlands) and one ot the selvas (rainforest).

The pampas were awesome, we had a couple of aligators in our camp that would hide behind the toilets at night, monkeys we would feed pancakes too, and at night we even had a couple of bats in our room. Going to a bar at night in our canoe was also fun, as well as meeting the family that lived there. The highlight was wakeboarding down the amazon river on the back of a dug out canoe :)

After that I did a trip to the selvas whcih I knew would suck a bit, especially in wet season. we hiked for an hour and a half to ge tot camp, wading through 3ft deep fast moving rivers and being eaten alive by insects. I did see some interesting stuff, but I was glad to leave, possibly the group I weren’t the best.

The town was cool, I ended up stuck there as the airport closed. the river got too wet, and the roads washed away. Us backpackers whiled away the nights in the bar in town.
