La Pampa

Hui, that was a tour to Huaina Potosi.... It was time to calentarme , to warm me up. So what should be better than taking an airplane -- rather an aircraft -- to Rurrenabaque, a small town in the Bolivian Amazon basin? So for only 500 Bolivianos, 50 Euros, I took this aircraft:


which took me from 4000 m of altitude (Airport El Alto) to 400 m in Rurrenabaque, or just Rurre. The little machine was for only 18 passengers, and didnt even had a door to seperate the captain´s and the passenger´s cabin. So you could always see what the pilots were doing, espacially during approach for landing, when lots of lights started blinking and speakers made funny noises in order to indicate malfunctions :) But everything went fine and the experience to fly with such a small aircraft was really nice.

What followed were 3 days in the Pampa with animal spotting, of course. Check out the pics!
