Arrival and first day!!!

Hola a todos,

So we finally arrived in Peru last night, it was a very....very long journey, but worth it. Our first experience of Peruvian culture came in the form of the drink Inca Kola, at Lima airport. It tastes just like Irn Bru, however it's colour makes it look like something that should be in a radioactive chamber.


When we got off the plane in Tarapoto we could smell the rainforest. It is absolutely beautiful here, the weather has been great and we did our first bit of sight seeing today. We visited a waterfall about 14km away from the town, called Cataratas de Ahuashiyacu, we even got to go for a swim (it was freezing!) but totally worth it.




How did we get there...only by the best transport ever, moto taxi, our driver was called Marco. Awesome guy, he gave us some tarapoto whiskey. Tomorrow we are off to the Laguna Azul for the day and just waiting for Asli to arrive, before heading on to La Esperanza. 


The journey will really begin on Saturday.
Ciao for now.
