In La Paz, we visited a few different agencies operating ecolodges in Madidi National Park. After visiting quite a few, we wandered into the offices of Madidi Travel and were greeted by Rosa Maria. Her friendliness and warmth immediately drew [...]]]></description>

Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Brazil feature protected parts of the Amazon&#8212;and each claims to be the best in terms of wildlife protection and conservation. After a fair amount of research, we narrowed our sights on Manu National Park in Peru and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The classic Inca trail is a grueling, yet amazing 4 day, 3 night trek covering 33 kilometres to Machu Picchu. Our trek began with an informational get-together with our group the night before our hike (Read: a meeting to size each other up). As usual, we are the weakest links. We are joined by several [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, we attempted for the second time to skirt the Cusco blockades. We are happy to report we were successful!!! The blockades constructed by local farmers are blocking several major roads into Cusco. The farmers are striking because a company wants to build a hydroelectric dam on the major river that irrigates their land. The [...]]]></description>

A few days ago, we learned of a blockade blocking the roads to Cusco. When traveling like this, we take things as they come. Thus, we did not concern ourselves with [...]]]></description>

Chris still remembers snickering with the other boys when his middle school geography teacher said &#8220;Lake Titicaca&#8221;. He never imagined actually visiting the highest navigable lake, so he was pretty excited when we finally set our eyes on its crystal blue waters.
Yesterday morning, we set off [...]]]></description>

It is one of the world&#8217;s deepest canyons at 3191 meters (9393 feet). It was an amazing trek down the steep slopes of the canyon walls. It was hot and dusty, but we finally made it to [...]]]></description>

Upon arriving in Lima, we decided the large city did not have much to offer us (except Starbucks on every block), so we caught another bus directly to Arequipa, Peru. Arequipa is a cultural center and also serves as a jumping off spot for [...]]]></description>

And, that is exactly where we are writing this post from, on our way to Lima. We are about an hour into the nine hour ride but Jodi&#8217;s smile hasn&#8217;t left.
