2013 TAMU Applied Biodiversity Sciences Amazon Field School on the Tambopata River in the Peruvian Amazon
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.

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.
This was my entry into RichboyJhae's Coruscant Speeder Contest.
It's my take on how deliveries are made on Coruscant. I loved this build and reimagining Amazon in another galaxy.

Not just books
Remember when Amazon only sold media? My first Amazon purchase was a Photoshop for Dummies book in 1999, when I worked as a web page and graphic designer.
I didn’t mean to become an Amazon junkie. These days, though, I only buy things three places: the grocery store, the thrift store or Amazon. (Okay. Not entirely true. I do go to the liquor store and order from Ulta.) Today, I’m wearing three things I bought from Amazon: the bag, the leggings, and the boots. (Unfortunately, I bought the boots in 2012 and they are no longer available.) As I shared in the My Schedule mail bag post, Amazon Prime has been a great time-saving hack.

Over the next several days I will be posting pictures of our vacation to the Peruvian Amazon. This picture is of a village alongside the river on our way. We stayed a few hours away from the Iquitos area. Such a wonderful and inspiring trip!

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.
