O rio mar!

Posted by hakanronnblad on

  The Amazon river close to Santarem.

A few weeks ago I presented a photo from the Iguazu falls. Iguazu means great waters, and that place is for sure an impressive sight!

This is another place worthy of superlatives. At times when you travel by boat on the the Amazon it appears to be more like an ocean. In fact there are stretches of the river that are more than 40 kilometers wide..!!

Iguazú do Brasil!

  Iguazú is guaraní and means  “great waters” !

The falls was recently declared one of 7 provisional natural wonders of the world. Borders of Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil meet here.

Did a stop over at  Manicoré when travelling the Amazon by boat between Porto Velho and Belém.

It´s a small settlers community at the Rio Madeira a couple of days
river journey from Manaus.

Me and my friends heard about a jaguar
that recently had been shot and decided to visit the family that had taken care of the kitten..

This beauty will grow to become the largest feline in this part of the world.
