Puerto Maldonado to Ica

Sunday was essentially little more than a travel day. We woke up at the Explorer’s Inn at 6:30, had breakfast at 7:00, and boarded the boat to head back at 8:00.

It was about an hour ride back to the Infierno village port, where we boarded the minibus and headed back on the little dirt road to Puerto Maldonado airport. From there it was a direct flight to Lima with a 30 minute stop on the plane in Cusco. The flight to Cusco was about 40 minutes, and the one to Lima was about an hour; it was just really tough killing 3 hours in the airport before our flight. After arriving in Lima, we arranged a van taxi to a bus terminal (every company has their own, so it’s a little more challenging than a central bus station), and boarded our bus for the 4 hour trip south to Ica. We got into Ica quite late and it was just a check into the hotel and head to bed kind of night.

It was a long travel day with a boat, van, plane, taxi, bus, and other taxi.
