CHICLAYO AND THE ADVENTURE - DAY TWO
Gosh! No matter how old you’re waking up at 5.00 am is always hard. Ceci and I arranged a tour to visit a reserve 60km east Chiclayo, and the night before starting at 6.00 am haven’t sound that bad. After “fighting” my bed and finally getting off for packing a small day pack for our adventure I was ready to leave. We made a bad decision of asking to be pick up at the Cathedral entrance , DON’T do it, Chiclayo down town very early in the morning can be very unsafe since there isn’t public lights after 5 am when is still very dark.
The original tour is explained as a half day tour and we were planning be back in town for lunch time (that’s one of the reasons why we started so early); basically this Natural Reserve is located around 60 km east from Chiclayo, so we calculated 2 hours to go, then 02 more to visit and another 02 to return, but that’s not the reality, and it’s better not tight so much your schedule.
Fernando, our driver, explained that we were going to a Privet Ecological Reserve and told us as well that we contacted the Reserve’s Responsible to organize our tour (I don’t have 100% clear how we managed to get that number) and of course that’s why the price was considerably lower than the one we were told in the travel agencies,’Good on us’ we congratulated ourselves. Fernando gave us lots of information about the region we were going thru, making several stops on our way to Chongoyape ( the last town before Chaparri) and obviously we spend more than the original 02 hours planed.
