The Galloping Grandma is off on another Adventure - this time to the Galapagos Islands (on the Equator off the coast of Ecuador in the Pacific Ocean) and the Amazon Rain Forest!! A 20-day holiday incorporating a 2-week cruise around the 'Enchanted Isles' in an elegant two-masted Topsail Schooner (without ever having to lift a finger in the Galley!), a visit to Antisana (all that snow and no skis!), plus a 4-day extension to the Amazon Jungle....... me and spiders?????

Views from Sacha Lodge
Mini pink bananas on one of the plants in the grounds. They do not feed the animals as it encourages them to steal (especially the monkeys) but they do leave the fruit for them to harvest - and the guests get the pleasure of seeing them while walking round the grounds. Great!
Many trees shed their bank annually to rid themselves of pests and parasites but many grow sharp thorns to deter climbers (animals and climbing plants)
Name the beetle? Is it a Rhino or a Goliath beetle? I think the former, as I could not find any orange Goliath Beetles in my research.
The bar!
Poison Arrow frog. They used to kill these little mites for their poison - used to kill monkeys for food.
Spot the monkey? Mandarin I think
