Rhonda the Honda rides south: entry five

In my last entry, David and I had just crossed the border into Bolivia, survived the 'world's most dangerous road' and were en route to a small town called Rurrenabaque in the Amazon basin. A lively place nestled on the banks of the River Beni, Rurrenabaque is a base camp for trips into the pampas, a low lying area of wetlands teeming with wildlife and an entry point to the Amazon rainforest.

Due to various technical problems and other unforeseen events, I was only able to salvage a few shots from our 11-day stint in the Pampas and the Amazon. Despite having no photos of the anacondas, tarantulas and caymans, I would recommend this fantastic experience to anyone.
