Alison and Megan hole up in a village during a thunderstorm.
Chronologically, Roughcut #4 (Alison’s Bug Bites) would play in between the two parts of this video. I slipped in a short edit of it to give a sense for how the morning progressed.
By the way, If you’re seeing this in Facebook and wondering where the videos actually are, the “Permalink” link below will take you to them.
Alison and Megan take us on a day hike through the jungle.
(Note: It was fun to take a break from Argentina and visit with Alison and Megan in Peru again. Must find more time to juggle these two projects!)
Alison and Megan talk about the road through the Andes and then witnessing a harrowing bus crash.
Alison and Megan tell us about the first stop on the 5-day jungle trek.
Megan and Alison take us along for a walk through the Amazon jungle at night.
Megan, Alison, and Arlo go out into the jungle on their last night in search of the elusive Caiman.
Julio and Angel retrieve some cacao (chocolate) pods for us to sample.
Arlo, Alison, and Megan warm up in a teeny tiny hot spring.
Alison spots a (possibly) poisonous snake in the trees overhead.
Our guides thought that it may be a naka naka (coral snake) before getting a closer look. Afterwards, Julio called it a fer-de-lance (yikes!). For all I know, it could be a non-venenomous tree snake, but they sure did treat it with a healthy respect!
Alison and Megan talk about swimming in a river that cut through the jungle.
