A whirlwind tour of Peru recently provided sales consultant Estelle Somers with total sensory overload. Estelle started her trip in the southern part of the Amazon Basin, taking a long but scenic motorised canoe ride along the Tambopata river to reach the Tambopata Research Centre in the uninhabited National Reserve. The research centre is strategically positioned next to the largest known macaw clay lick in the world but you have to be an early bird to see the parrots at their favourite gathering place!
No trip to Peru would be complete without a visit to Machu Picchu, which Estelle did in style aboard the luxurious Orient Express Hiram Bingham train, followed by a visit to the high point of Lake Titicaca with plenty more wildlife, this time seen from the calm of paddling her own canoe...
