Rurrnabaque - Amazon Basin Jungle in Bolivia

Jungle!!!!! For real!!!! We got to spend 4 days in a real jungle with the real "jungle communities" learning about them, their lives and of course about the jungle. it was an awesome and very personal experience as since it is the rainy season there and not many tourists make it, James and I were the only visitors at the time with our personal guide 50+ year old Pancho and our own translator about 23 year old activist from a different community. We were catered to by a mother and daughter team and the rest of the community was showing us how some local basics are done (anything from separating the rice from the grain, to weaving baskets, making thread, to making arrows, building a roof to a hut and floating on a hand made raft down the river). The things that you normally take for granted require so much effort! We had a blast doing it all! After 4 days and too many mosquito bites to count, the jungle experience was done and headed up to La Paz.
