Manaus, Brazil – Jungle

“Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown”

Welcome to Manaus

First let’s enjoy the jungle a bit. We didn’t go on tours this time except the city bus tour, but a jungle experience was offered. However, we so enjoyed the jungle tour we took 13 yrs ago when we were younger and able to do it that it is still one of our favorite trips if not the best. The photos of John’s piranha was put in the Santarem post, and I’ve added some more of our jungle experience here. The quote at the top was so true for us back then and also in Kenya.
