2013 TAMU Applied Biodiversity Sciences Amazon Field School on the Tambopata River in the Peruvian Amazon
One of the truly pristine areas of the tropics is located in Peru´s southernmost jungle department of Madre de Dios. At 4.5 million acres, the National Park of Manu is one of the best areas in the Amazon rainforest for watching wildlife. Due to the remoteness of the area, you will see an abundance of monkeys (13 different species), turtles, giant otters, peccaries, capybaras, tapirs, jaguars and macaws. Manu is also an unparalleled place for bird watching. It harbors over 1,000 species of birds, 300 more species than are found in the U.S. and Canada alone. New species are continually being discovered.
There are yet more chances to see birds in the second largest reserve: the Reserva Nacional Tambopata Candamo. The reserve encompasses the entire watershed of the Rio Tambopata, one of the most beautiful and least-disturbed areas in Peru. The reserve protects the largest macaw lick in South America, the Colpa de Guacamayos. Here birdwatchers can view one of the world´s phenomenal avian spectacles, as hundreds of red, blue and green parrots and macaws gather at the lick daily.
Accommodations in the Amazon aren't that plentiful. Our choice was Ariau Towers. For those familiar with the Survivor TV Show, this was the hotel the film crew stayed in during the taping of Survivor: The Amazon. The hotel looked like it had seen better days, but then again the conditions are rather harsh. It's hard to describe how much the area floods, hence everything being built on stilts. Some of the more famous guests have included Bill Gates, Jimmy Carter, Susan Sarandon, Alanis Morissette, etc... This picture is the interior of one of the towers. Our room was the one on the left.
With all that said, probably one of the things I will remember most from this location was our guide. He told us of how they would paddle on the river two hours one-way to the nearest school each day. He was currently in the midst of teaching himself his fifth language. His determination to better himself was inspiring.
Enjoy the weekend.
Thanks for looking!

With five of us wedged into a wobbly, four-seater plane, this is a selection of shots from our sweaty one-hour flight from Manaus, in the Brazilian Amazon, to Novo Aripuana -even deeper in the Amazon- and back. Many thanks to Daniel, the pilot, for permitting the use of electronic devices. Aerial view of the Amazon Rainforest, near Manaus, the capital of the Brazilian state of Amazonas.

'Amazon' heads for Paddington with the 1825 ex-New Street in the spring of 1975.
It was a dramatic evening, with frequent blustery snow showers. Quite what I was doing there on my motorbike with Kodachrome 64 in my camera says something I suppose. Modern technology has produced a passable image but I regret discarding the picture I took moments before of a 37 on an MGR just because it was going away from me - passing just as I arrived in better light......
Little remains of the station where I first watched the trains go by with my grandfather in 1961, it was closed in 1964.

I took my picture about where the signal was, looking the other way.
A very creative costume, made from Amazon.com boxes. Yes, there was a kid in there!

Learn the amazon sex position, one of the most pleasurable sex positions. This position is considered a bit of a complicated position and might take you some time to master.
A pic I took during my flight from Bogotá to São Paulo. So many good pictures in this trip and this one was here to crown everything =)
Our Amazon adventure started in Puerto Maldonado, from the Peruvian side. Staying near the Reserva Nacional Tombopata area. It was so hot the first 2 days, I didn't think I could last for the planned 5 days.

In 2022, I returned to Colombia. The main purpose of this trip was to explore the Amazonian rainforest areas near Leticia and then on the Rio Negro. In 2007 I was in the Leticia area on a volunteering project and the 2022 trip gave me the chance to see more of the area.
As these are border areas, with the rivers travelled actually being the borders, I also visited / transitted through Brazil, Peru and Venezuela. I will create one master set / album for the entire six week trip, plus separate country albums to help viewers who are interested only in a specific country.
I also spent time in Bogota and in the Boyaca region. Overall intinerary: London - Leticia - Bogota - Villavincenzio - Rio Negro - Puerto Inirida - Bogota (incl Nemocon) - Villa de Leyva - Tunja - Bogota - London.
