Day 3 - final hike to the canoes

From Banos on the Pastaza river we took a taxi for the 1 1/2 hour drive to Puyo. Again.... a distance Isabela would have had to have walked ... or at least been carried in her palanquin.

At Puyo we met the two men from Sarayaku who were arranging our transport down the Babonoza river via Sarayaku village.

We will be hiking from Puyo to Canelos where our canoes are awaiting us... much like the canoes were supposed to have prepared and waiting in Canelos for Isabela.

fortunately small pox is not an issue these days - the disease being eradicated from the population with only sample strains kept in laboratoies in the USA and Russia.

Internet is likely to be limited or non- existant for some time now. The plan is to hike to Canelos and camp on night before taking dug out canoes from Canelos to Sarakayu where we will camp for a further two nights before continuing our journey in the canoes to the Peruvian border.....
