Tiputini is located in eastern Ecuador, almost on the boarder of Peru. It is a biodiversity station created by my school, USFQ, and Boston University. It is deep in the Amazon rain forest. It took us seven hours to get there. We had to take an airplane, two bus rides and two boat rides. Though it was entirely worth it. It rained and stormed so much there, and I've realized how much I've missed the rain. I saw a lot of cool animals like caiman, a snake, tarantula, poisonous frogs, macaws and so many other birds I couldn't name them all. I ate ants that tasted like lemon. I ate a leaf that made my tongue blue. I saw the biggest moth in the world (jk, I don't know if it's the biggest, but it was huge.) I only took cold showers. I saw some terrifying spiders. We played with monkeys. I helped a turtle get to where it wanted to go. I climbed to the top of a tower and saw across the entire canopy of the Amazon. I crossed these sketchy bridges that would not be legal in the U.S. And last but not least, I floated the Tiputini River with caiman, piranha, and anacondas.
