Sauce and Blue Lake (16, 17 May 2006)

Wow, we actually have time to fit in another sight seeing holiday in Peru before the big move to Australia. After some discussion we decided to head for the Northern highlands. We flew to Tarapoto in the evening and had a rather poor night in a hotel (due to the constant motor taxi noise). It was necessary to get out into the countryside so the next morning we were on our way to Lago Azul (Blue lake) and the town of Sauce nearby.

A highlight of the trip was the crossing of the river Huallaga on a two vehicle punt.

Shortly afterwards: Lorena wanting to meet some local horses.


Here we are with a view of the Huallaga valley behind.


We arrived at Lago Azul after two hours on rough roads, it was a really pleasant sight to see. It was a lovely boat trip around the lake that afternoon.


The lodge we stayed at was really peaceful and nice. Here we are with the resident monkey named "Martin".
