My first time in the jungle

After being hosted by this beautiful family in Tena, which my mother organized for me, I went to the little "pueblo" beside the jungle, called Misahualli.
There I slept in the house of the father of my host before. By luck, I could organize with my friend from Cuba, that she'll come as well and we will go together discovering the jungle.
So we organized a one night trip with a guide. The next day we got up early and tried to figure out what we need to pack! 😄
So then it started, we had to walk for 6 hours trough the jungel and this in rubber boots! 😂
But it was alright, because we made different stops, he showed us the plants, he builded a bag in only 5 minutes out of plants, he explained what to do when a snake bites you and showed us how to put the healing plants. It was incredibly interestimg and I was fascinated how much medicine it has just out there in the nature.
The camp was beautiful, It had a lot of space and nice stuff to stay there for a while. Like a net to play volleyball or just taking a bath in the river or making a fire.
Our guide even brought beer and we cooked all together.
The night, for me was beautiful! As I woke up I heard the rain on the deck and on the plants, I heard animals all around me and just enjoyed this clean air. My friend Severine didn't sleep this good, but you know me, I can sleep everywhere. :P
The other day we made, after another jungle walk and more plants experiences, fresh new chocolate and cooked another delicious meal! 😍
To go back home, we took a boat for around 30 minutes and then a bus back to Misahualli. I was super happy about that, I could never have imagined to walk the way back... 😮Read more
