Bay and I did another four-day trek...this time with monkeys! Our trip was to Manu National Park, a large Park East of Cuzco full of birds, monkeys, jaguars and river otters. Our transportation included a bus, river boat, traditional wooden boat, mountain bikes, river rafting, zip-lining and rapelling. We saw an incredible array of birds, including the funky looking hoatzin, the flamboyant Cock-of-the-Rock and the crazy nest-making Putzi. We also spotted a family of woolly monkeys and a group of smaller monkeys (maybe cappuchins?) During our mountain bike ride, we stopped at a small coca plantation and had a chance to see how the coca leaves were cultivated. We spent our nights at comfy lodges in the jungle, one of which was right on the edge of the beautiful Madre de los Dios River.

I am LOVING the power stance in the mt. biking photo. Did you at any point do "no hands?"
Also - i am very jealous of the fact that you zip lined!!! missing you.
