A family excursion.
Mother, father and two kids taking a trip on the Madeira, a tributary to the Amazon-river.

A vulture drying his wings and the boats arriving and leaving on the Amazon river. Nothing beats a tropical breakfast with fresh “jugo de Maracuja” (passion fruit) and a panorama like that..

River and sea!
Nearby the mouth of the Amazon River. Not the longest but by far the largest river in the world!
