The best month of my life
by: Eleanor - United KingdomProgram: Amazon Conservation in PeruDefinitely the best month of my life. There were so many moments that were just surreal, it just felt as if we had wandered into a nature documentary, like when we found ourselves stroking a baby caiman while knee deep in a river or blowing on butterflies to determine their gender.
Thank you for making my trip fulfilled to the max
