We decide to travel to the Pampa and the
Jungle. We let our car in the parking of the hotel and we take a small
airplane (19 seats). Quickly we arrive in the amazonia. We land on a
small ground land covered with grass. What a difference with La Paz.
Here, it is so hot and humid ... normal for amazonia.
 


 
We
found that there is a organised tour for tomorrow ... Fine, we join the
group without to lose time. We reach the campsite with a motorised canoe.

The pampa abounds in animals. Incredible !
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
We
go walking in swamp looking for anaconda. Even if Luis, our guide tries
his best , we can not find anyone ...
So, we take the opportunity to look for the flora and to know each other
better.
  
Back to the campsite, we found Catherine,
Luka and Emma waiting for us. They are excited, they were in front of an
alligator some minutes ago. Then, we decided a 'farniente' for all to
recover a little bit.
  
Pink
dolfins... Incredible !
We go swimming with the dolfins in the hot water but not very
transparent. Every one goes in the water except Luka who has to be
managed by Catherine to avoid that he jumps in the water.
 
  
 
Superb
sunset in the Laguna ... We stop the engine and from the canoe, we
admire the sun going down slowly before to reach again the campsite
where Jesus, the cooker is preparing the meal.
 
By
night, in the canoe, equiped with our torches, we look for the red eyes
of the alligators ... We listen the fantastic noise and we have the
visit of a young alligator.
To
celebrate Christmas, we leave the Pampa. We go back for the 'civilization'.
Suddenly, the engine stops ...we are not so far to reach the place where
the truck is expecting us. We start to paddle all together with shoes,
bottles, ... Paddling would take some hours if we do not find a solution
... At a moment, an another boat cross us ... We shout to ask them for
help. Luis, our guide, is furious about our attitude ... The guide from
the second boat doesn't give a shit and continue his way slowly ...
Until the tourists of the second boat ask him to help us ... Then he
comes back and tows us. What a crazy competition ...

Finally
we catch the truck ... for the 3 hours of track.
