Today's port of Santarem was our last port for the Amazon. The city of Santarem lies at the confluence of the clear Rio Tapajos with the muddy Amazon in the driest region of the river's length. Another boat ride on the river for us. Another chance to see the meeting of the waters. The weather was cloudy, which kept the heat down. We saw many birds, a few iguanas and tried fishing for Piranha. One guy snagged a sardine.
A day at sea and then Devil's Island, which technically ends our South American adventure. We still have several Caribbean ports ahead, and will arrive home March 23.
