The Amazon and Lake Titicaca, Peru

Not only did we live in Peru for four months, but we also took vacations all over the southern half of the country.  Here are more pics from that 2004 trip with the 35mm film camera.
A portion of the Amazon river down in the Madre de Dios region in south eastern Peru.
The trees in the Amazon are amazingly intricate.

We stayed in a reserve resort in the middle of the jungle, by the river, and got to take amazing boat tours.

So much green.


Lake Titicaca and a reed island made by the Uros people who live in the middle of the lake.

This is a Chulpa (tomb) at the Sillustani ruins on the coast of lake Titicaca.
