Today, the completely unexpected
happened, well kinda. We went on the Amazon River, okay well actually it was
the Rio Negro(Black River) and crossed it to the other side to the resort where
we will be staying. We have a guide named Washington who is from Guiana.
Today after we got unpacked we set
out on the Rio Negro. Our objective: catch piranhas! We split up into 3 boats
and our boat ended up having the most success by catching more than 30 fish. I
only caught one but it was still fun!
After this, we set off on the hunt
of caiman, a small crocodile. I wasn’t expecting anything when our guide got
down on his belly on the boat and reached out and grabbed a live caiman! We all
got to hold it and take pictures with it.
What a great introduction to
Manaus and the Rio Negro!
Thanks for Reading !
