New Year, New Volunteers, New Experiences!
After a long hot bus ride that took us deeper and deeper into the jungle, we finally reached El Rio Napo, laden with our heavy bags and excited to complete the last part of our journey to Base Camp by canoe. It was the perfect way to experience the jungle for the first time, travelling fast downriver with a warm breeze and our new rainforest home towering above us either side of the river.
This was just one of the many experiences I’ve enjoyed since arriving here at GVI Amazon, including Saturday night fun with games of Assassin and Mafia and encountering many new animals such as armadillos, pacas, kinkajous, opossums, frogs of all shapes and sizes and the most unusual creature of all, Andy the base camp manager!
