Hey, it's a Honeymoon!

There at 1,620 species of butterflies in this one area of the Amazon. We counted 50 ourselves.

This is Uriel, our guide through the jungle. Behind him is a plant called Monkey's Ladder.

This was our Honeymoon Suite, right on the edge of the jungle and with the river on the other side. If you are going to Peru, check out www.inkaterra.com as this nonprofit entity has multiple amazing hotels around Peru, including this one in the Amazon.

This little guy was on the boat that took us down the Madre de Dios - Mother of God River - into the Amazon.

Seventeen llamas keep the grass on this mountain to a good length. This is the only tree in the built-up area. One of the great things about this place is that much of it is a mystery - so you can decide for yourself why this tree is sacred. . .

This is the school. This was a cultural metropolis where people came to learn trades. The area was entered from above, at the Sun Gate. Then visitors passed through the watch tower. Religious areas seem to have been restricted to some extent, and were built in the high-style with the large boulders linked together without mortar. Noble people lived just below this area. This view is of the education area - also built with the double jam doors, a symbol that makes this space holy as well. Below this area is where the general population lived. The school can be seen as the bridge to nobility, as higher education meant a rise in status.

This is the starting place for building an Inca city. Those smart cookies built a model of the terrain out of a rock at the top, near the sun dial. From here they could work out the lay of the land and how the sun moved across it. They had enormous respect for mountains. We are standing on Manchu Piccu, which means Old Mountain, the mountain in this shot it Wayna Piccu. Four years ago an ancient Inca observatory was found there. 400 people are allowed to climb the narrow staircase to the top each day to take in the ruins and the view.
