Reaching the Napo River on our raft after 2 hours, floating past Coca
Without any control of the raft, we luckily spun around the pylons and avoided a dangerous collision
Floating under the new suspension bridge and saying goodbye to civilization for an unknown period of time
Floating down the Napo River on our very first day
Massive trees, wild jungle

So very calm and peaceful

Goodbye mountains and goodbye city! From here on, the jungle is complete flat for the next 4000km
The first sunset. This daily phenomena never ceased to impress me, the Amazon sunsets truly are amazing.
Our first night: We barbequed a chicked and drunk some rum on a lonely, quiet river-beach.
We risked dangerous collisions with tree-trunks and overhanging trees, when the wind or the current would push the raft close to the jungle river-shore.

Indigenous communities and their cute, curious kids. The vessel to the right is a dug-out canoe, called a “casco” in river-lingo.
The Locals
The local indigenous people would come visit us; to talk, to look and to trade.
In the shallow areas of the Napo, the locals could navigate their “cascos” with a long stick.
