The only way to reach the Peruvian jungle is via boat or plane -- there are no highways to Iquitos, the capital city of what Spanish-speakers know as the "selva." When friends and I arrived in at the lodge after a day of flying and boating our way into the wild, the tour guide offered us the opportunity to go on a nighttime boat ride down the river to look for caimans (a type of crocodile). Despite the fact that we didn't find caimans, we saw so many other incredible things that I forgot we had gone out that for any other reason than to gaze at the bright South American night sky. While we admired the twinkling sky, leagues of tiny frogs hopped around us and exotic bird calls bounced off the silence. Unforgettable.
