The horror. The horror.
Truth be told it wasn´t all that horrible it was quite beautiful, tranquil and peaceful. We took a 7 hour bus ride from Quito to Lago Agrio where we met up with others on the jungle trek through the Cuyabeno Reserve. We then took a three hour truck ride then a two hour canoe ride down the Cuyabeno river to the base camp. All in all, we decended from the Sierras at 11,000ft to the Oriente at 1000ft and nobody's head imploded.
