Brazil

Brazil Gallery

I really enjoyed my time in Brazil from the slow lazy trip on the slow boats on the mighty Amazon River from Iquitos (Peru) to Belem on the coast of Brazil, to Iguazu falls and Rio.  Its an amazing...

Then on to Rio

Ipanema Beach

Next up was Rio and I can honestly say I didn’t really have enough time there. Still that is the way things work sometimes. Rio is a massive party town or that’s the way it seems to me. Perhaps...

The Serra Verde Express & Ilha do Mel

Fishing Boat

For once I decided to take a day bus to my next stop which was Curitiba. Not that I particularly want to see Curitiba it’s just the jump off point for the Serra Verde Express. Still I spent a...

Iguazu Falls

Rainbow over Iguazu Falls

As it turns out I loved Iguazu Falls and it was well worth the effort to get there. Well it wasn’t all that much effort I guess since the hostel arranged it all for me. First up I decided...

Pelourinho the Historic Heart and Soul of Brazil

Over the Rooftops

I could really sit back, chill while the days passed by here in Salvador. I’ve met backpackers in various parts of the world who were doing that but I’ve never really understood it until I got here. Salvador, or...

Then on to Fortaleza

Food Stalls on the Beach

My bus to Fortaleza was uneventful although instead of taking 24 hours it it 27 hours and I finally arrived in the very late afternoon. If you like beaches and are not all beached out then Fortaleza has a...

Belem

Old Canon

I didn’t really spend a lot of time in Belem, then again it seems to be one of those places that you go to on your way to do something else. After all I did not really end up...

Amazon River – Pt 3

Watching us Go By

Before long it was time to jump on the boat to Belem. The guy we brought the tickets from arranged for us to be picked up at the hostel and driven to the Port which was a nice touch....

Manaus

Manaus. What can I say about Manaus?  It’s one of those places that people come to so that they can go elsewhere, at least if you are a traveller anyway.  You’re either here to do a jungle tour or...

Amazon River Trip – Pt 2

The Meeting of the Waters

So I’ve made it to Manaus in Brazil where I’m waiting around until the next boat to Belem which is on Wednesday. I might go to a jungle lodge for an overnight stay depending on cost. As it turns...

Amazon River Trip – Pt 1 – Obtaining a Cabin

Amazon River

So today is the day, I’m sitting in a cafe in Iquitos watching the hours count down. I have six hours until it’s time to board the boat for the first leg of my Amazon River trip. Amazon River,...

Iquitos

On the Banks of the Amazon

Finally the holding pattern that I’ve been in while waiting for a Brazilian visa is over.  I’m currently in Iquitos Peru, the steaming jump off point to the Peruvian Amazon Jungle lodges and the Amazon River. Its been some...
