Last night I returned from my 5 day adventure in the high jungles of Peru. Although the town itself resembled pretty much any other small town in Perú, the area was quite beautiful. Below you'll find a few photos of the area and I'll try to post some additional ones of the Bible institute in the coming days.
Thanks to SAMAir, our trip to Mazamari took only 1 1/2 hours rather than 2 days!
Mazamari is also home to a Paratrooper training base. Shortly after arriving, 3 military helicopters landed. I talked with one of pilots about giving us a brief ride. Although it's possible, the guy I needed to speak with was on vacation till Thursday, so I was told to come back then. I also found out we can take military planes from Pucallpa to Lima. I can't wait to try it out.
The Plaza
The "pet store" of Satipo, the largest town in the area about 45 minutes from Mazamari.
Monkeys carved from coconuts.
Indian women washing their clothes in the River.
A typical house in Mazamari.
We did a quick flyover of Mazamari upon leaving. The town was surrounded by some beautiful mountains and apparently during the rainy season there are waterfalls everywhere.
