Best Western Lord Manaus Hotel

... me to take me to my three days jungle tour.On the way, I could see a little bit of Manaus’ center.I would not say that is beautiful, but there is something on the caos that seduces me. The architecture of the downtown area is completely heterogeneous and everything really colorful. Made me remember the central Havana in some moments. So, I arrived at the Port.
First we went to the meeting between the Rio ...

... right on the trail where we were walking. For me, I felt far out of my comfort zone and quite scared. Worst point was when I had to go for a bush pee in the pitch black forest after this walk just before sleeping: this was completely terrifying! Luckily Cris looked after me very well, but I was extremely pleased when dawn came and we could leave the dense jungle. On our way back, one of the canoes submerged completely twice, leaving its canoeist swimming around ...

... a bow line to the
ferryboat's crew who secured it to ties cleat. Our small boat still continued to rock and list from the wake of the ferry, which was still moving at 6-8 mph. At this point, if the small boat overturned, we'd be dragged along by the big boat and, once freed from the upturned
small boat, slip under the current of the big boat and into it's propeller.

We quickly handed over our packs and bags to the crew on the big boat ...

... rosa, nao deu pra fotografar, e alguns animais tipicos da regiao, durante essa época a mata fica submersa, e só o que podemos ver sao as copas das arvores.

O passeio dura todo o dia, e é dificil descrever o que é possível ver por lá...

Cheguei de volta ao Porto de Manaus as 15:30... e voei pro aeroporto pois meu voo para bogotá saia as 18:00h...

... eaten, bar none. The skin gets so crispy from the fire, and all the oils, from the different woods, give the chicken an amazing flavour. I fell alseep staring up at the amazingly bright amazon sky, listening to all the interesting sounds of the night. It was definately the best day of the trip, with the exception being that I woke up at several times in the middle of the night, freezing my ass off. Never would have guessed the jungle would get freaking cold, but there ...

... reflected back from their eyes. A few people go out and quickly catch some with the expert guidance of Sammie. However, I ask if I can borrow Sebastian´s boots and also head out on my own -- determined to catch my own. I´m allowed, but quickly realize that before I´m even 10feet from my prey their eyes disappear as they slip back under the water. After 5 frustrating minutes -- which likely felt like 3 times as long -- both I and the other person in our ...

... small hut which had lots of locals sitting around by it, this was the starting point for the entrance to the cave, and there was a local boy armed with a torch to be our guide, we set off into the "jungle" , Daniella had sensibly decided to wear trainers , unlike me, who struggled through the muddy paths in flipflops resulting in me slipping down one of the hills and agetting a muddy ****. Soon we reached a mini waterfall and cave, the guide took us 100 metres into the ...

... to be clear) It was awesome though. So much fun! It had rained the night before as well so the water was pretty high and running really fast. The previous group did it in 2 hours the day before, and we got some speed up that it took off at least 30 minutes. So much fun! Now back to where I left off - Angel Falls. This was an over night trip where we had to fly in a little Cessna plane for about an hour, and then take probably a 3 hour boat trip up a river against the ...

... of Bruis;s and gash;s all over my body. At the end of my day i remanest how that was one of the challenging mentally and physically i have ever done. WE did tow other day tim trip;s be for leaving Venezuela. 1; Laos Llanos, It was a 2 night 3 day tripe, in the rain forest. We drove for hour;s in ...

... surrounding area. In the nearby state of Acre is also the birthtown of the famous Chico Mendez, probably one of the first people worried about saving the rainforest. But in fact, it was a pretty nice city. I definately didn't feel threatened in any way, and everybody was happy to see me. It's nice to visit places where tourists don't visit frequently - you get a totally different view of the country and it's people, because in those non touristy areas, people are more open ...
