Home of some 15,000 and the gateway to the Amazon. According to a contact at the ministry of education I'll be interning in the department of Junin in the small town of Satipo. Sounds like it will be a bus ride of 16 hours after flying for 23 hours. Elevation is about 1,800 feet....which means altitude sickness should not be too big a problem. But I do drop from some 10,000 feet from the department capital of Huancayo. Hold on tight...
A google search of "Satipo" turned up the gringos pictured above. Do check out their stylish Peruvian bags.
