After staying overnight in Rurrenabaque, we met our guide,
Pedro to set out on the first leg of our Madidi National Park adventure.
There had been heavy rain in the park north of Rurrenabaque,
which became more apparent as we neared a small community
where we stopped for Pedro to contact Tacana friends
who would be part of our trip on the Tuichi River.
While we waited, Tom bought some coca leaves.
We stood around waiting for the drive to an indigenous community
where we would have lunch before going to the launch site on the Tuichi River.
