This is the Madre de Dios river surrounded by the amazon jungle (or 'selva' if you want to get technical) from the plane.
The river up close. And a boat for your enjoyment. The exact same kind we rode to our lodge (a 3 hour ride :/).
We went to a clay lick at sunrise where we were supposed to see a ton of mcaws (possibly the most beautiful birds in the world, I have an obession with them now) and other parrots and stuff but it was cloudy and that effects their sight so we just just saw them all fly around from a distance.
A gigantic kapok tree, they can get a mile high, this is just the base of it.
The city square in Cusco the old Inca capital. The name of the city was originally Cosco which means bellybutton, fitting since this was the center of their world.
Saqsawaman (pronounced sexy woman) an old temple those rock are gigantic and held together without mortar, just an interlocking system, like giant complex legos.
I hope that this was interesting to you. I realize now that most of the pictures were of the jungle but that was probably my favorite part.
