Santarem, Brazil

Our final destination along the Amazon. We had booked a tour to go walking in the rainforest so we boarded a bus and travelled no more than about 50k until we arrived at the home and property of an American ecologist, Stephen Alexander, who owned a large area of the forest which he is trying to maintain and develop into as diverse a forest as possible. We had a fascinating walk through the forest with a guide who was very helpful in pointing out various trees and other flora which are of interest. The animals kept to themselves. On the way back we stopped at a fish market where somebody was feeding the pink dolphins, so we were able to have a good look at these creatures.Baca lagi
