Snaps from Peru
Descent into the Amazon
From Tarapoto, I continued a magical descent in altutide into the Amazon basin.
I left roads behind, striking out on the riverboats
of the Amazon. Towns only touching civilization through the river's brown
fingers, with women who boarded the sea of hammocks on our boat selling tamales,
yucca, roasted insects. Despite the leg burns, I ventured
4 days up little rivers on expedition, where
the water is black and still and the animals walk overhead.
