Travelers in Arequipa, PeruThe next morning we traveled back downriver to Posadas Amazonas. The journey was much quicker on the river as we traveled with the current. That afternoon we took a final muddy walk through the rainforest and prepared to say good-bye. I was not going to miss the heat and humidity and already had more than my share of insect bites (over 30 at last count, despite the long pants), but I was thankful for the chance to glimpse this strange, magical world.
