After our crazy first day in Oxapampa, I was ready to keep going! We drove out to the tribe called Tsachopen where they mostly just dress up for tourists. It was really fun to see some of their crafts and original costumes.
A truck got stuck, so we all helped out so we could pass.
They tried to teach me how to shoot, but I stunk.
The tribe leader as of now.
We all piled back in the car to go to a little ranch. Their big appeal is the fact that they have Emus! They were very tame Emus and we all got to pet them. My favorite part there was the little Tigrillo that was at the other end.
So pretty!!
We went out to the big rodeo next, which was definitely my favorite part of the trip! There was a big rainbow before we got there. There was bull-riding of little bulls ridden by little boys, and adult bulls with the big 'vaqueros.' They also did something called the tumba where 2 men wrestled down a bull. I loved the whole rodeo, including the hot cowboys!
Great, huge, full rainbow!
My seat for the rodeo because I couldn't see from the ground... too many people.
I think the bull won!
However, the cowboys get him down in the next round.
Tug of war!!
We met up with some old friends of my padres at the rodeo and we went to their beautiful vintage house after. The kids played with other kids and I talked with Otilia.
I just loved the pink beday.
Brunito playing around!
We left Oxapampa early the next morning for the long drive back to Lima. I had a great time on the trip. We even got to hit the highest part of road in all of Peru!
Scary tunnel!!
Highest point of road in Peru!
