The Promised Land

Surprising Matt went off succesfully at the airport in Santa Cruz, and I joined the group on their travels down to the new park Jac Cuisi (´The Promised Land´) to start the project phase of their trip. Its a tough life, but this also involved cycling down death road and a night in a hotel in the cloud forest enduring these views.



After a further 15 hours on a bus to Rurrenabaque, and then a day stuck there due to rain which made the river impassable, we arrived in the new land. The group have done really well getting stuck into work building 2 puma enclosures, and I managed to get away with helping for only a day before heading off on my own project to find a location for the spider monkeys, once they eventually move fom Machía. The new land turned out to be even more stunning than I expected and we spent 6 hours walking through this terrain, in search of the perfect place. As you can imagine from the photo, we were not stuck for choice as all of it was as bautiful as this picture portrays.

Back in La Paz now and off to park Machía tonight so apologies fo lack of contact.

Lots of love to all, sxx
