In Tanatinga
Tabatinga muitos bebedos:D. Não tinha mesmo muito para fazer. Bom, primero fui achar a Polícia federal fica na avenida principal. Por sorte consegui uma carona, de moto.

Aqui vamos Brasiu
7 Aqui vamos Braziu Leaving from Iquitos to Santa Rosa. As I learn, nowadays, there are no direct connections Iquitos-Manaus. In the caoutchouc time there was.

A woman traveling alone, is she safe?
A friend of mine was asking me to report to her if a girl alone can do the same trip. Of course I am not a girl and we don t have the same perception of the danger but I think it is safe. Coca by day is for sure but by night I don t. Then Rocafuerte they are mainly nativos and they are peaceful. Pa...
Aquí se habla Quechua
A So here I am in a cumunity in Yasuni park: Comunidad kichwa de llanchama. If they speak Quecha in the middle of Amazonia is because they went down from the Andes during the colonization. More inside the lands we can found the Urunas 3000, Territorio naui. They want to be kept alone and they are no...
Boat to Rocafuerte
As I said previously the price is 18$75. You probably need to buy it the day before. It was full. There are 3 cooperatives navigating. They share the week days, so each day a different one. What matters for you is that you can take the boat every day at 7h30. Be there before 7h. There is an extra o...

So I took a bus to Tumbaco (San Marin shop) and there got a bus to Lago and then another bus to Coca. At c...

On my way to Beliz
A drunk American, an old angry German, an anoyed Belizean flight pilot, and normal people:). I heard some stupid things about creol by the two first. When you are less knownlageable you speak the more.
one full day at the hostel, but no more.
Interesante, conocí a un israelita que también tenía la nacionalidad portuguesa porque era de los decendientes expulsos. Hablando de Xcaret con antiguos empleados. No vi el parc pero ya se todo lo que tiene de malo o bueno. yo no me podia quedar mas de la media noche, no habia pagado una segunda noc...
