BUNCH OF MONKEYS ON THE TREES…or getting in touch with rainforest environment
while staying in belem, we had several attempts to connect with this unique natural environment. one day we visited the first research centre of amazon. beautiful place! lots of animals, different species, interesting plants… later on we took a look on a very nice indian exhibition. here in amazon area, there are still a lot of native tribes hiding in the woods. some of them are pretty much adopted to western civilization world, others still live in their traditional ways, some are even believed to still endure canibalism practics! very interresting indeed…
over the beer debate we got another briliant idea: arvorism, or as we call it in slovenia, adrenalin park! since ricardo and elida have a friend, who owns the second biggest one in brazil, we just couldn’t miss the opportunity. it was a great experience: not only that we sweat our balls out on those “obstacles in the air” as they are, but for even more pure experience in the middle of the rainforest, we got rain shower as soon as we started. lots of it! :S and additionally we were caught by the night. you can imagine that we looked like bunch of monkeys on the trees. but was sooo much fun!!! …so, yes, marvelous experience indeed!
…so, after all i believe we got in touch with this unique ecosystem. :) now we were ready to face the real amazon!
