Rua dos Andradas, 491, Centros Manaus, Amazon River, State of Amazonas, Brazil, 69005, (+55)-92.3622-0038
After 9 nights in Itacare, we were both excited to hit the road for the
Amazon and disappointed to leave our casual routine of surfing and
relaxing. Leaving meant the end of our vacation from our traveling.
Our itinerary soon reminded us of this. It included a 2-hour bus ride
south to Ilheus then a 1-hour flight north to Salvador, a 2-hour
layover, a 3-hour flight south to Sao Paulo, a 2-hour layover then a
4-hour flight north to Manaus. The route was the cheapest available,...
We get the bus the next day after a thrilling day in Puerto La Cruz... In hindsight the place is ok, there are some great pics but mostly the place stinks and is filled with stray dogs and litter! It is a bit of a dump and we stayed in one of the nicer hotels. We have enjoyed our time in Venezuela but are looking forward to adventures new!! The bus terminal in PLC is fine and we sit in the waiting area which has a TV with the crappest picture quality ever, people dont seem to mind.... Anyway,...
Boa Vista, State of Roraima, Brazil kingsandemsHello, Everyone This is the END of Venezuela To answer my question i left you with last time, WHAT IS CANNONING, Well its when you hick in a very aggressive river full of rock s , hole; s to jump into, and extremal high watter fall.;s, to clime down from.

Manaus, State of Amazonas, Brazil nic.lachapelleSo we finally made it to Brazil! We crossed the boarder with no problem at all. They were the nicest officials I have ever dealt with on both sides!!! We are still traveling with the German couple, Ninja and Mark, who we climbed Roramia with, which makes the conversation a little more interesting and the bus ride a little more safe. After a three and half hour bus ride to Boa Visata, we hopped in a cab to go into the city to get something to eat. But since it was Carnival still, nothing reall...
Manaus, Brazil vmcelani... que..................... o senso comum se sobressalta e rasga-me o pensamento como electricidade... rápido no gatilho, solto imediatamente um sentido... "Foda-se!!!" Nervoso, ainda sem bem perceber tudo o que passa a meu redor, começo em busca de respostas a vitais perguntas que me assombram no imediato... onde nos vamos sentar? de que lado estamos nós? qual é a porta? de que lado? Nãããããooooooooo...... as lágrimas correm-me pelo rosto, o fardo pesa mais que nunca e não há agora como ...
Manaus, Estado do Amazonas, Brazil kikinho... like a great way to cool down in the peak heat of the Amazon river basin to me… even though there was a man to my right (successfully) fishing for piranhas, and a caiman basking in the shade over on the shore in front of me :s The current was pretty strong, so there was less swimming and more battling to stay in the same spot, but it was refreshing all the same!<br><br> That afternoon we went out on a boat in the sweltering heat, and ...
Manaus, State of Amazonas, Brazil vickicooper... with places to hang hamocks, so we lugged all of our gear up there, and set up shop. The <br><br>breaze and view were truely spectacular, and we definately had a good nap up there, after lunch. I woke up just in time to see a bearded lizard(I've seen it in a david attenborough film, but I can't recall what it's named) flaring at another lizard in the roof. I went back to sleep, and Leo woke us up after a couple of hours, and we paddled out in a canoe, to explore the ...
Manaus, State of Amazonas, Brazil ryanflemington... soup, flashing their full grin of deadly incisors. The meat itself was rather delicate and tasted good. <br><br>As daylight diminished into dusk we turned our goal to spotting sloths -- four-armed, tree-toed, furry mammals that as most people generally are aware are rather lazy, slow and hide in trees away from predators -- that is except curious mankind. So we scan the forked sections of trees for the elusive lump of grayish fur to indicate their ...
Manaus, State of Amazonas, Brazil barry0fisher... As it was the middle of the night, on arriving at Adrianas spacious house on the outskirts of the sprawling city , we got some well needed rest. After waking up, Adriana and Leo showed us around their university - located in a jungle reserve, with monkeys and other animals found all around . Adriana then drove ( a car is a real necessity in a Manaus as it is very spread out) us to a well-known riverside fish restaurant for lunch , on the way we drove through Manaus ...
Manaus, State of Amazonas, Brazil jon-daniella... friendly. I found it pretty funny, too, that I went to the pretty much biggest restaurant in town, which is a sort of a fast food joint with a cyber café on the 2nd floor, and people were so surprised to see me, a blond, blue eyed foreign girl - it was something so new and exotic to the staff there that they just had to touch my hair and sit down and chat for a bit.<br><br>But then Wednesday came and I arrived on time, at 08:00, hung up my hammock, as I had been taught on my ...
