amazon-jungle in rurre
The Amazon Jungle tour is US$25x2, the cheapest in the world. The tour guide only speaks Spanish but he is great (and brave).
If you don't like bugs, this is not the place for you. There are every kinds of bugs every where: on the tree, the floor, your bed, inside your food, your tea or your mouth (if you talk too much).
Don't step on the way of these fire ants, they are very poisonous.
The giant Amazon ants are very poisonous. Our tour guide was bitten by it the next morning, he said it was very very painful.
This spider is not poisonous
This is where garlic was originated before it was domesticated.
This is a very poisonous spider. Our tour guide opened the spider nest and let it out.
At night, we took a simple canoe to hunt for alligators. The night sky was crystal clear and vast. The lake was tranquil. The simplicity of the moment had transformed the molecular structure of my mind. That's all I need in my life. The scenic has proved the existence of the dream that I thought only existed in fantasy.
The tour guide found a very poisonous scorpion beside his seat. The life of the scorpion was terminated after I took this photo.
There were moments when the sun beam fell through the roof of the jungle and cast a beam of spot light on the jungle floor. There was butterflies dancing around, synchronized with the movement of the sun beam. A childhood memory was incurred in my mind. The fairy tale was true.
This is the chocolate tree where coca was originated before it was domesticated.
This is the coca for chocolate.
Our guide had seen too much Tazan.
It is a poisonous tree which was used by the natives to make poisonous arrow.
The butterfly was released after this photo (OK, it might suffer some psychological shocks.)
This is how they do the car wash.
The bus ride was 22 hours. On the bus, watching the erosion of time was a console to the mind. For I knew the torment of the bus would soon erode away with the disintegration of time.
There is certain experience you only enjoy at the moment (e.g. a beach resort) and others you enjoy it when you think about it after. It is like freezing a certain portion of time and keep it inside a refrigerator. I didn't enjoy the bus ride at that moment but I knew if I kept that particular portion of time in my refrigerator, I probably would enjoy the feeling somehow.
The bus ride is like doing 5 hours of bungie jumping. But I knew, someday, sometime, when I thought about it again, I would enjoy it.
