My First Backpacking Trip 23th April

Me, Dad, Mom and my Cousin Rosa went for a looooong holiday over the mountains into the jungle. The bustrip took ages.. like 9 hours. First the bus rode up the mountainside very high. Dad said we were at least 4815 meters higher than the sea. Then it went down again and when i woke up we had come to a town called Huánuco.

We spent there two days, and went to visit and old place named Kotosh. There I saw a mountain that looked like a fist, and turkeys and some goats.

After that we continued more down, to a place called Tingo Maria, in the jungle. My mom's cousin, aunt Marita came with us too. It was really hot there and I didn't have to wear much clothes in the daytime. And we had a big bubbly swimming pool inside our room which was really fun!

The next morning we drove to a big cave. It sounded really scary, with loud screams coming from inside! Dad said I shouldn't go in because there is a lot of poo. I saw some parrots flying outside and dad saw some bats and oilbirds and very big cockroaches inside. Then it started raining a lot. We went back to eat and then to some other places. I fell asleep but when I woke up, I was in the middle of a jungle next to a big beautiful waterfall, and it wasn't raining anymore! My Dad and Mom went to swim in the water. Then we took some pictures. The jungle is really beautiful!

This was my first real adventure! Here are some photos.
