Sanderem to other places in Brazil

BR163 is the main road that takes you to many places in Brazil. It is a 900 mile road thru 80 cities.

Sanderem is a city on the Amazon River. We had to take tenders to the shore and then 2 hour (almost 50 miles) in a local bus ride through the State of Para (see photo) to get into the Tapajos National Forest. One of the biggest challenges of the Amazon river is that it is 25 miles wide in rainy season but only 10 miles wide in the dry season, making it incredible difficult for those that live/work on th eriver to survive.
