Background: Following three centuries under the rule of Portugal, Brazil became an independent nation in 1822. By far the largest and most populous country in South America, Brazil overcame more than half a century of military intervention in the governance of the country when in 1985 the military regime peacefully ceded power to civilian rulers. Brazil continues to pursue industrial and agricultural growth and development of its interior. Exploiting vast natural resources and a large labor pool, it is today South America's leading economic power and a regional leader. Highly unequal income distribution remains a pressing problem.

Lençois South America » Brazil » Bahia » Lençóis

View of the Mountains

Ok after a month travelling its about time that we added a new journal !! We flew (very posh and not at all traveller like - we know!) to Salvador and after spending a day or two mooching round the Pelorinho - headed for some tranquility at Lençois. Lençois is the gateway to the Chapada Diamantina National Park - which is a vast expanse of waterfalls , rock formations , canyons and tabletop mountains. Lençois itself is a fabulous little town with very old colonial architecture - all of the buildings are made of stone - and the area has now [View Full Entry]

Jungle Expedition in the heart of Amazonas River South America » Brazil

Vår guide Everaldo har precis fångat en Black Cayman!! Här är han stolt över sitt byte..

En fantastisk dag på floden som vi aldrig glömmer! Karins vänner Bigode och Everaldo visade oss det allra bästa av Amazonas pärlor. Vi förstod att det var en tur i särklasss som få turister får uppleva. Båda två har bott i djungeln stora delar av sina liv och känner väl till naturen och vet precis vart man ska fiska piraya och fånga alligatorer. Breath taking views and experiences! Där de båda floderna delar sig såg vi delfiner (bótó) både rosa, svarta och gråa inte långt från båten..så fina. Vi åkte längs Rio Solimoes och på flera ställen såg vi Herr Nilsson [View Full Entry]

Stolt Lisa över att ha fångat sin första fisk..ever!! en finfin Piraya!

Framme i Manaus Amazonas! South America » Brazil

Karin i sin favoritmiljö på floden Rio Negro i Amazonas...

Flygresan till Amazonas gick via huvudstaden Brasilia i tisdags. Resan tog 5,5 timmar och planet var lika stort som det vi flög med över Atlanten. Stort land och mycket djungel! Väl framme slogs vi av hettan och den höga luftfuktigheten. Temperaturen ligger runt 35 grader, i onsdags var det 40 grader och jättevarmt och fuktigt i luften. Vilken omställning från Rios svalkande playa.. En halvtimme efter duschen här i Manaus är man lika genomblöt igen. Vi bor hos Karin Johansson från Hönö som jobbar i ett projekt för barnen i byarna längs amazonasfloden. Karin är svägerska till Anna Nolebring [View Full Entry]

Våran djungelbåt. Kolla in färgen på vattnet!

Bakom oss flyter Rio Negro och Rio Solimoes sida vid sida.

Jellyfish saved my life, OR Cagney not Lacey? South America » Brazil » Rio Grande do Norte » Pipa

************* First Part (to spoil the surprise, there will be three!) There is an itch under my skin. Not too deep down but just far enough in not to be sated with conventional scratching techniques. (You scratch an itch but never itch a scratch - ouch - I have become Gary. I really feel pain I just imageine. Gary did you go ouch?) I wish I did really become Gary. Then I would be able to make this damn itch go away, conventionally. And I cant find a brillo pad in this rain-forsaken country. I even invert it. "Pad Brillo" I [View Full Entry]
