Day 2 on the boat went well. There were areas that were low and concerns, however, it was never low enough for us to have to get out and push. Praise God! After 9 hours on the river the second day, out of the blue appeared a bridge that looked like a miniature Golden Gate Bridge. We had finally arrived in Balsapuerto. Kids were hanging on the bridge and sitting on the steps waiting for boats to come in.
The Chayahuita that knew we were coming took our bags and started the trek to our
accommodations for the week. The surprise was awaiting around the corner. We had all expected to pitch tents, bathe in the river and use latrines. We stood in awe as we entered the hostal that had been built for visitors. It had 2 bedrooms each with 4 bunk beds, a bathroom (with flush toilet), a shower and 3 hours a night it even had electricity! Luxurious by jungle standards.
