Better for you to eat the Piranha than the Piranha eat you

I was told not to take a good watch, so I took this one:

I bought the bracelet in Cusco.

cop414 · 1 June 2015, 11:09 AM

Perfect choice!

Andad · 1 June 2015, 03:59 PM

Nice Pix 'G' and an interesting Seiko.

hdrazor251 · 1 June 2015, 04:47 PM

Great pics and love the Seiko GMT. Would you do it again?

Rolextraderflorida · 1 June 2015, 09:13 PM

Looks like an awesome, and one of a kind trip!

gibbus · 2 June 2015, 06:46 AM

i had done the amazon before, I have even swam in it.

great pictures. The amazon alligator is a caiman most likely a specluated caiman
The piranha looks like a small rhom piranha.

Brilliant trip. Thanks for sharing.

Went to Machu Picchu 2 years ago & the Amazon in 85, South America is such a beautiful and diverse continent.

Looks like an amazing trip for you & mrs. Hope you have many more!

Wonderful experience! We are looking into possibly hiking the Inca trail into Machu Picchu 1 -2 day hike and staying at Belmond Sanctuary Lodge but the boat looks interesting. Would you mind sending posting the information to the outfitters you hired?

We are looking at this company.... http://www.aquaexpeditions.com/

Many Thanks!

Leon,

We booked the Amazon cruise on the Aqua. The tour operator was Ker & Downey. They are not cheap but they do provide a wonderful 5 star product.

I will tell you that the Inca Trail is actually a 4 day hike and the Sanctuary Lodge has only a few rooms. We stayed at the Inkaterra Hotel, which is in the town below Machu Picchu and it was a fabulous place.

It was a fantastic trip, Nathan. We had a lot of fun along the way. I've whittled it down to about 500 decent photos, after eliminating the blurry pics and most duplicates.

Thanks for the information!
We prefer 5 star products when it comes to travel and are well aware of the costs. Attention to details, exotic destinations and planning are all well worth the price.
