\u00a0My family is getting ready to travel to a place that National Geographic<\/strong><\/em> calls “the most biodiverse place on earth.” <\/strong><\/p>\n

We are embarking on a pure jungle wilderness vacation. Peter and I are taking our three daughters deep into the jungle for ten days. We have one month to get ready. After much research and travel vaccinations the most important items that we’re bringing are: Deet, sunscreen and rubber boots (locals wear these jungle hiking–easy to cross streams and they stop snakes bites on the lower leg).\u00a0Can you guess where we’re going?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Hint#1<\/span> \u00a0It is only accessible by boat on this river:<\/h4>\n
