We entered the Amazon on March 9 and did a technical stop to do the paperwork for the river transit. No one was able to leave the ship. March 10 we were in the community of Alter Do Chao. This island offered quaint cottages along the beach lined with palm trees. Thanks to Indian handicrafts, lush vegetation, turquoise lagoons and clear water, Alter Do Chao is becoming a popular destination for travelers.
Today, March 11 we arrived at anchor at Boca Do Valeria. It is an Indian village with a permanent population of from 75-100 people. The colorful village contains a few wooden house and an abundance of local wildlife. Locals are friendly and want to share their basic lifestyle with those who come ashore.
