Getting drenched in the heavy rains, walking through the jungle, spotting natives and snakes nearby Tena, Ecuador.
Little by little weather was getting worse. By the moment I left the bus there was a brutal downpour raging from the sky, making people seek shelter under whatever roof was available.
In an hour or so it got a bit better so I was able to venture outside and across the bridge over Rio Napo.
Very soon, though, the skies opened up again and I had to retreat back to the village and eventually, back to Tena. The day was pretty much wasted, but I managed to take a neat photo of the native people who were preparing to start selling handicrafts on the street:
Next day I reiterated my way back fully prepared to take on whatever would come, but the weather was hot and sunny this time.
This giant tree is at least 70 mts tall and I could not fit in into a single frame, it's as big as a house
The regular tree against the wall of enormous trunk of that behemoth
Next was the waterfalls Cascadas de Latas:
Walking there I managed to take a wrong turn and returning back I stumbled into a snake. I nearly stepped on it, as I wasn't expecting to run into it where was nothing just 5 minutes ago. We both were startled by the encounter, and the snake flew before I could make any decent shots.
Anybody knows, what species is that?
Proceeding to the waterfall:
And finally, a couple of pictures of Tena itself, which is a calm little town with an old airport re-purposed as a city park.
