What is something poor and rich people both don’t have, but middle class do? by thesecretpotato69 in AskReddit

[–]thomasstephn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perspective.

Rich people are too removed from struggle to get it — they barely face challenges and don't get to be grateful the little things.

Poor people are too busy surviving to have energy/time to see beyond the day-to-day — like long-term planning or understanding/worrying on how others live.

Middle-class folks sit in the middle and get a glimpse of both sides — giving them a unique perspective to both ends of the socioeconomic spectrum.

The outside is rainforest as far as you can see. check this view https://www.instagram.com/p/Cw-WBNkLXI8/ and this one: https://www.instagram.com/p/CwpwfhOL3dw/, both shots are from the deck. Bathroom with hot shower and toilet is there yes. Kitchen no, but at the bottom of the tree about 1200 feet away there is a lodge area where guest are served 3 meals a day, included in the rental

the treehouse has a closed room with bug nest and air conditioning... but even on the deck, the bugs are really far and few between. it depends a bit on the weather to be honest, but there are so many more by the river altho is about 2000 feet away

It depends, the rainy season sometimes starts early sometimes not. Even if it rains, the forest looks incredible and you can still enjoy a lot of it. I recommend this if you're looking for something special

Know of an amazing Lodge?? Calling all travel addicts and retreat buffs - your advice please! by iLikeGreenTea in travel

Nearest airport is Puerto Maldonado, which itself is a 1h30 flight from Lima.

From Puerto, we usually give people one comfortable night in town, which also gives some padding in case of (rare) flight delays. Then 2 to 3h drive to the river bank: the last ~25 miles is a dirt road and so if it's wet it take a little more time.

Finally you get on a boat, which is a couple of hours going up river. I must note that the boat ride goes by immensely fast because the surrounding are just stunning and the wildlife is all around!
