We started out our first full day in Tarapoto with a tour of a town/part native village called Lamas. This first picture is in Tarapoto where we stayed, a "rustic Hawaii" as David's mom likes to call it. : ) It was beautiful!
Here is Hunter and his new Peruvian friend at a museum that we visited in Lamas.
Jungle-type bugs and and animal skins, including HUGE snakes, gave us a close-up of some of the wildlife!
At the Plaza de Armas in Lamas.
An Italian man has had this castle built in Lamas--VERY unique sight in the area and we had a great time exploring it.
The artist who paints the murals in the castle was at work! It was neat to watch him.
Amazing view!!! Pictures can NEVER do it justice.
Preston enjoying some time in the backpack with dad.
More of the same artist's work.
Ice cream break!
Boys having a GREAT time pretending to drive a mototaxi.
Hunter's "treasure" from the native village. A parrot that matched the one in the restaurant that he loved so much. His heart was set on it from the moment he saw it. So cute. : )
My treasure was this hand-woven hat.
And Benjamin looks a little too happy with his blowgun...
Once we got back from Lamas we went on a mototaxi tour of Tarapoto. I LOVED the mototaxi. It was so much fun to ride on. Very refreshing to have the wind blowing on you. We just laughed and loved the ride!
Here is Benjamin discovering a banana tree.
Back to the Rio Shilcayo.
