Peru-Day 5

We went on a hike to a waterfall and were so happy to experience the dense tropical foliage.  It seems surreal now that we were in the Amazon!  It was amazing and testifies all over again to me of the power and majesty of Heavenly Father's creations!


 After the hike we were able to go to an animal rescue center, it was VERY rustic and we loved it!


 This is a cacao pod--it's where the cocoa beans come from!  You break the pod open and it's full of this white, slimy substance that tasted sweet and bitter-very cool to see that.
 This is a tapir--they called it the "jungle cow," I think.  Very large and docile.
We flew back to Lima that afternoon.
