31/7



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 !
