Softly, I crossed from a very nice dream into the daylight, louring through the window. Love it, when the first sunlight tingels you to wake up. The cold, sunny wintermorning determend my pace. Had another, a bit delayed breakfast (because the stove had given up, and they make everything for the breakfast themselfs … bread, […]
Matutu. The landscape. The energy here. Synchronosity. The light, warmth, attention. It’s less than 48 hours. And the place has a save spot in my heart. The relationship isn’t recibrocal, yet. Maybe, this day will bring some change. I started in the same slow rithm as the day before. For my walk to the resception […]
Day 3 What a day! Watching the Sunrise above the mountains from te bed, I started the day really slow. Time was at the same pace. Birds started to announce the light, the cold of the night (we had 2 *C) started to disappear. A short shower, some socials and off to breakfast I went. […]

We started the day with a walk through the woods, using again the canoe to reach the river banks, near what they call the sandwich stones. On our route we came along a lost settlement, already taken over by termites, giving a glimpse of how live would have been, out here. The family, which lived […]
After breakfast we left for Novo Airão accompanied by your wildlife guide and our driver for the day. The first 80km of the road was properly paved, and our driver hit it. The second part (about 130km, well, the pavement of about 2 cm thick had some holes, some mayor holes! Our driver hit it […]
We arrived in Manaus late in the evening. Our contact waited for us at the airport. Even it was late, we got a little D-tour to show us the stadium and the Samba Drum. When we arrived at the hotel, the restaurant was closed. The receptionist advised us to call for delivery. Uber Eat didn’t […]
After breakfast, the driver took us to the Brazilian side of the falls. The Argentinian site was quite a walk, on the Brazilian side, you hardly take 100 steps. You walk from the parking lane through the ticket counter, to step into the car, again. After a while, you walk about 20m from the parking […]
