Departing La Paz and venturing on to Guayaramerin, Bolivia with a quick stop in Trinidad, Bolivia. The 18 seater planes for this day of travel were great as we were all able to enjoy seeing the Andes Mountains and all the great scenery. |

Our little stop at the Trinidad airport gave us our first exposure to the nice warm weather of Bolivia as well as seeing a smaller town airport in South America. Upon arriving in Guayaramerin and seeing the very small wooden control tower complete with a hammock underneath and the airport terminal "building" being a cement pad with a metal roof, washrooms, the airline desk and a couple of ladies selling drinks and snacks, we knew now that we had arrived at the Amazon Jungle!

From the airport we were taxied to our hotel down dirt roads into the city of Guayaramerin. After checking into our hotel, we were taken down to see the boat that we came to construct. The boat is larger than we imagined, but we were all so excited to be able to take part in this great mission.
