Peru: FAUNA

Here are some of the best photos I got of all the amazing, beautiful, and crazy things that surrounded me in the jungles of Peru. This is why I carried my camera with me every single moment throughout the wet, sticky, and hot rainforest. Some of my proudest photos (and some of my least favorite, but that's okay). Please enjoy.
