The Rainforest

After a horrible zillion hour bus jouney we arrived in Baños de Ambatto where we got a few hours sleep before having to do another horrible bus journey to Tena and then to the lodge where we were staying. Before going to the lodge we stopped at a village called Misahualli. Here there are tame monkeys which run around the plaza in the centre. There are about 15 to 20 tame monkeys who live in the village and are very michevious- you have to make sure your bag isnt open or they will steal things from you! Our guide gave us oranges and onions to give to them and the come up and take them from your hands. The oranges they smash on the floor until or with stones then eat them, and the onions they rub on their bodys as a natural insect repellent.
