Quisacocha Zoo Breakfast 8am across the road at the Flinstones (a bamboo restaurant). 10am head off to the Zoo where Zoo Peru and Antony work. Great day, beautiful surrounds, heaps of animals in much better condition and enclosures than I had expected. The guys from Zoo Peru are very obviously doing a great job on the ground here against massive odds it sounds like at times. We swam in the fresh spring fed lagoon – anacondas on the opposite bank! Too far away so we´re told. Spent the whole day at the zoo then took a motorbike taki to another set of markets where I bought earrings and some beautiful hand painted material patches.
