NORTHERN PERU: ENDEMICS GALORE

The second day on Abra Barro Negro takes us over the top, and down to our other campsite, Balsas, along the Rio Maranon. The scenery is some of the best of the tour, on the descent, and then on tomorrow’s ascent. It is also a transition from wet to dry, as the highest ridges of the eastern cordillera catch Amazonia’s moisture. <div id="caption_tourlink" align="right"><br>[photo © Richard Webster]</div>
