The Yavari: our home for a night

The Yavari is a boat originally built in 1862 that traveled through 6 countries to make it to Peru… (Read the full bio here )

This was our hotel for the weekend.

We arrived around sunset and met our new friend Catherine, who was staying with us for the weekend because she takes Spanish classes with our housemate Sanna from Sweden. Unfortunately, Sanna could not come on the trip because she was dealing with parasites in the stomach, but Catherine still came even though none of knew each other, and we had an amazing time.

The boat was absolutely magnificent, with a lot of the original hardware still there. We slept in bunk beds with potholes overlooking the lake, and not only did they provide us with hot tea, they also have us hot water bottles for our beds.

In the morning we were greeted with an awesome breakfast spread, including eggs, smoothies, coffee, tea, and bread, at a table that was a part of the original ship. Afterwards we were given a tour and then clearly held a photoshoot, before departing for the day.
