Departed Huanuco for Pucallpa on the 29th however I rode as far as Tingo Maria and decided I'd call it an early day rather than arrive late. The ride out was a bit overcast once I passed over the mountain and started dropping into the Amazon region. It rained some but it was a nice ride all the same

Settled in for the night in Tingo:

The 30th looked much better weather wise and I took my time riding to Pucallpa.

The road was pretty good with exception of a few washouts, sometimes becoming one lane:

Where ever there was a construction stop, there was women selling something to eat and drink:

The women always seem to enjoy flirting. The one on the right joked that she wanted to have a gringo baby. When I asked what her husband would think about that, she said she didn't like him so it's ok.

Tourist spot ahead, some small waterfalls:

I'd been seeing log trucks and sheets of wood and then came across a mill that was producing the sheets. They use a giant lath to peel off sheets about 1/3 in. thick.

If it really needs to be cut, use a Stihl:

It was interesting how they centered the log in the lath with a forklift to get the most out of it.

Arriving in Pucallpa, Rio Pucallpa: People running up to me from every direction wanting to load me onto a boat and take me somewhere. Competition is fierce on the rivers for cargo and a gringo on a moto is prime cargo. It doesn't take long before word spreads that I don't need passage and I'm left alone.

This port services the villages for 125 miles up and down the river from what I was told. One guy told me they take some passengers and cargo up river to connecting boats that reach the Amazon River.

Everyone is interested in the moto and my story and they always ask before sitting on the moto. Amazing how many parents show up with their kids.
