Peru Project – Day 11

Young Explorers Blog – Day 11

This morning we woke up with an exhausting, 10+ hour day of travel awaiting us. It was also the Independence Peruvian National holiday. During the journey, we went past dry forest, desert, the lowest part of the Andean mountain chain, and finally came into the “pre-jungle.” On our way, we stopped by at Bagua Grande, for a traditional Peruvian lunch, which also served as dinner. By the time we got to Cocachimba (the town where we would be staying for the night), it was already dark, and being so exhausted, we called it an early night.
