Tarapoto (17, 18 May 2006)

From Tarapoto we went to see the waterfalls of Ahuashiyacu. First we went by car for about 14 kilometers and then walked a short way up. Here is John crossing a small bridge.


And now Lorena almost invisible in the jungle. Spot her.


We could hear before we could see - but it was not the falls we heard, it was the sound of many people. We arrived and had to share the natural beauty with about one hundred other people. (Take a look to Lorena's smile, she was not so happy no?)


The falls are 35 metres high and the water plunges into a refreshing pool. Thankfully the crowds left, so we had the falls more or less to ourselves.


It was a pleasant outing.
