LUNAHUANÁ

Another Sunday, another early morning. We woke up at 5:00 to beat the morning traffic. Surprisingly everyone showed up on time and we were able to make the trek to the small town of Lunahuaná in under four hours. We all poured out of the bus and into the water for a white water rafting adventure. Because Peru is currently in its dry season, the river was relatively low. Although the water was low, the rapids were still pretty strong, strong enough to knock one of the girls off our raft! Luckily our guide, Jorge was able to pull her back in by the life vest.

After rafting, we took a walking tour of the town. Everything was going fine until all of a sudden these invisible bugs started attacking everyone's legs. Luckily, I was wearing pants so only my feet got bit, but it was still pretty painful. By the end of the day, some people's bites swelled to the size of cherry tomatoes.

The best cure for bug bites is of course...pisco! We walked to a large bodega to sample various wines and piscos. On the ride home, we stopped at a small honey farm right along the river. The area is definitely in my top ten most beautiful places I've seen!

Beautiful!
