Day 8 Float Plane

After lunch, our boat parked near a float plane.  In groups of four, we took a float plane ride (compliments of International Expeditions!) above the Confluence of the Marañón, Ucayali and Amazon rivers.  We had our second heavy (but short) rain - enough to soak our shoes - just dried out from yesterday's rain!  haha!  Not bad, considering we expected rain every day - and instead only had it twice briefly.  Even then it was at the end of both activities.

    Great photos for the plane, especially showing the confluence of the three rivers, and the shot of your boat shows just how large the rivers are.
