We arrived in La Esperanza on saturday evening, it took a whole day to get there from Tarapoto and we had some trouble in Nuevo Cajamarca, it seemed that no one had heard of La Esperanza. But eventually a taxi came for us and honestly, it was an amazing drive up the mountain. The scenery is even more amazing here than it was in Tarapoto.
Everyone at the NPC field site is really nice, there are a few other students doing research on the yellow-tailed woolly monkey and night monkeys too. We are an interesting mix of people: British, Peruvian, Brazilian and Turkish.
Unfortunately, we are postponing our first trip to the forest for a few days, due to myself (Sophia) and Nicola not feeling well.... stomach bugs are just not great. But we are hoping to head up by at least Thursday.
Will be adding photos soon...so please keep following :)
